Programme Note
This recital features works from the last three albums of music by all women composers La Muse Oubliée I & II and El Fin del Silencio; recorded by London based Spanish pianist Antonio Oyarzabal. This project is the result of over four years of research and it is formed from a compilation of carefully chosen little gems for piano by female composers.
Antonio Oyarzabal is a concert pianist living in London. He obtained his Masters and Artist Diploma at the Guildhall School, studying with Caroline Palmer. His recent debuts include Royal Albert Hall, Conway Hall and Cadogan Hall (London); and as a soloist with Bilbao Symphony Orchestra and conductor Juanjo Mena.
Antonio performs solo and chamber recitals actively around the UK and abroad. Recent performances include a Madeleine Dring Centenary chamber concert curated with oboist Nicholas Daniel OBE (which they will be recording for Chandos soon), and solo recitals in festivals and concert halls in the US, France, Ireland, UK, Spain, Austria.
He has published five albums. La Muse Oubliée, a collection of piano works by women composers, was awarded with a Golden Melomano, rated 5 star from BBC Music Magazine, appeared in The Observer, and received glowing reviews from many European magazines. It was selected as one of the five best piano albums of 2021 by Fanfare Magazine (US). Antonio has recently released El Fin del Silencio (Latin American women composers) which was Critic’s Choice on BBC Music Magazine. He has just released his fifth album, La Muse Oubliée II. Antonio is an Ambassador for Donne UK, the leading institution for women in music.
