About

Using the motto adapted from the 1848 Jacobite Revolution, this recording seeks to continue the aspiration for the equality enshrined in it. A further French saying - vive la difference highlights the value of variety, and therefore the importance of the musical activities of these women.

Diana Ambache says: ‘Martin Cooper’s description in his book French Music says “The French composer is consciously concerned with the two data no one can question – his intelligence and his senses.” The music from the years spanned by this recording (1861-1952) illustrates these and other French characteristics, except that I am changing “his” to “hers”.’
