Inspired by the “Sisters of the Moon” paintings by the surrealist artist Leonora Carrington, the concept behind this album revolves around the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters. According to Greek mythology, these nymphs, also known as the dancers, served the goddess Artemis. They lived a life devoted to love and rebelled against the obligation to preserve their virginity. One day, on being pursued by the hunter Orion, they were given their freedom by being transformed into doves and then a cluster of stars in the night sky. In Inca mythology, they are seen as the mothers of the universe.
In a way, the Pleiades are metaphorically embodied by the composers who feature on this album: Montgeroult, Mendelssohn, Beach, Larrocha, Boulanger, Price, Montero, Pérez and me.
This is why most of the works on Sisters of the Moon are either linked to night-time, when the stars can be glimpsed in the sky, or related to love and dancing.
