I'm just trolling to get 'trout' to Post some Video! haha I don't know much about these two other than they are the female Composers most linked up with the High Modernists, both coming into prominence in the '60s, I believe. Neither has an extensive Discography, but maybe that has changed recently? From what I've heard, their work sounds as formidable as anyone's, and it's nice to have two more names to add.
'trout', it's all yours!
Edith Canat de Chizy was born in 1950, so is of a different generation than Betsy Jolas, who was born in 1926. You can easily find some of their music on YouTube.

I guess you didn't mean me. ;D I noticed that there is a member
Trout. Sorry for a confusing username. It was not my intention to make an anagram. "torut" as in
Toru Takemitsu, although it was also not my intention. :)
I didn't know Betsy Jolas. Only one album (viola & piano) is available?
This looks interesting. Do you have it?

I also don't know about Canat de Chizy other than the string trios/solos album. That is so good that I want to check her other works such as orchestral, concertos, chamber, etc.

yea, "they" get my name wrong all the time,- savages! I thought 'petrarch' was 'petrock'...
Jolas has a "couple" of cds from Accord, one old, one new(ish-2000s). There should be something up on YT.
Well, I guess we'll discover together! ;)

I took a look at their Amazons. Chizy has @12 listings, but about 4-5 solid releases. Aeon has her 'Complete Orchestral Works', though the Timpani disc has a Violin Concerto? Then there are some Chamber discs. Jolas has the two Accord discs (either OOP or expensive) and a new cd of her piano music called 'B is for Betsy'.- I was even surprised to see that
btw- the trios/solos album is echt Aeon- try their Boucourchliev SQs.

Boy, where do you find a list like that?? Just out of curiosity, do you think there is a male name I've never heard of? I just want to know exactly HOW obscure these names are- for they are, wow, quite a list! Sophie Lacaze sounds interesting. But, one would think in this day that if they had any hidden Masterpieces that they would be recorded?

Lacaze's work was posted some time ago by Philo at 21st c. thread.

I know none of the names in the list. Interesting.
Well, there are many female composers, not just Germaine Tailleferre, Jennifer Higdon or Kaija Saariaho....
