Unearthly Music
Music by Australian Women Composers
Kathryn Moorhead - Flute
Claire Cooper - Piano "This project began when I started to search through scores at the Australian Music Centre in an attempt to assemble a program of music for flute and piano by Australian composers. In the process I noticed a significant amount of music by female composers including some music that is not well known by audiences and musicians. "I decided to perform and record this music, as it seems to me that women's involvement with musical activity has not always received acknowledgement in the past. A considerable amount of the music on this CD has not been recorded before and I believe that any music of this quality by Australian composers should be available to be enjoyed by Australian and international listeners." (Kathryn Moorhead) Press quotes:
“attractive, well played and well worth having”
— Peter Larsen, 3MBS FM Libretto “a rich sensitive performance ... an impressive recording ... highly recommended”— Rita Crews, THE STUDIO magazine Audio previews:
