Info for Kralik von Meyrswalden: Hymnic Symphony, Piano Trio

Matilde Clarick von Mileswald was born in Linz in 1857. From 1877, she studied composition, piano, and musicology in Vienna under Bruckner, Epshtein, and others, completing all courses with the highest honors. She once shared first prize with Mahler, and her chamber music and songs were highly praised by Hanslick, though many of her orchestral works were never performed. After 1912, she lived quietly with her friend, the historian Alice Skarlates, and died in Vienna in 1944. Her works were subsequently forgotten and neglected. Italian conductor Silvia Spinato founded the all-female Female Symphonic Orchestra Austria (FSOA) in 2019 to rediscover and perform symphonies by forgotten female composers. At the 2021 Bruckner Festival, they premiered Clarick's "Hymn Symphony," whose grand, Bruckner-like musical ideas generated significant acclaim.FSOA functions not only as a performing organization but also as a music publisher, researching, editing, and publishing unorganized manuscripts by female composers to enable all orchestras to incorporate these works into their repertoire. The album also includes Claric's "Piano Trio."
