Clara Rodriguez was born in Venezuela and after winning a scholarship from the Venezuelan Arts Council trained in London at the Royal College of Music under Phyllis Sellick. Clara Rodriguez’s career as a concert pianist has taken her to perform in the most prestigious halls in Europe, South America, Asia and the North of Africa. Her discography includes the piano music of Moisés Moleiro; Federico Ruiz; Teresa Carreño; Federic Chopin; Ernesto Lecuona and Popular Venezuelan Songs and Dances.

Moisés Moleiro was born in Zaraza, Guarico State in 1904 where he grew up listening to the music of the Venezuelan plains. This early contact with his homeland music can be clearly heard throughout his compositions, especially in the Sonatinas and Toccatas. This particular selection of his works contains most of his piano pieces and give an interesting insight into his compositional development.

“Moisés Moleiro’s music is defended with enthusiasm and considerable grace by Clara Rodriguez. She has a highly articulate touch and a fine control of dynamics that are a pleasure to hear. This CD is as vibrant and colourful as anyone could wish”. CD Review, London
