Info for Poétesses symphoniques

Do we need to know, before hearing a work, whether it was composed by a man or a woman? Does this information change the way we listen? Does it influence our judgment?

With the works selected for this recording, we enter the realm of so-called ‘programme music’. Composers proclaim therein their ability to depict, through purely aural means, a non-musical subject. A poem, a narrative, a painting, a scene from a play or even a sculpture could be used as the basis for the score of a symphonic poem.“
