Description: Four mov representing a range of emotions: passion and lyricism in "Image"; unpredictability and playfulness in "Capriccio"; tenderness and lightheartedness in "Cantilena and Dance"; and vitality and decisiviness in the "Finale". "Its tonal harmony, traditional forms and romantic sensibility mark 'Portraits II' as conservative, but the composer's individuality shows through in yearning dissonances, quirky juxtapositions of thematic material and a pervasive sensuality not unlike that of her native Barcelona."
