Thank you for a wonderful web resource.
Tara Guthrie

I was pleased to find your list of women composers on the internet--what a wonderful resource for those beginning research. The material you provide will be a great benefit for the promotion of women's musical creativity and I can only hope that it will spark increased interest in women's accomplishments.
Janette Tilley, University of Toronto

I enjoyed your list very much. I will refer to it often, I am certain.

The Kapralova website is well worth visiting.
Malcolm MacDonald, Havergal Brian Society Website

Vitezslava Kapralova Homepage has rapidly turned itself into one of the best Czech music sites on the Internet. The information available on Kapralova herself is expanding, but now there are sections on women composers, Vitezslav Novak and various other items, plus all the usual sorts of link to other sites.
The Dvorak Society of Great Britain Newsletter, January 1999

I continue to be amazed by the ever-expanding and ever-improving pages that started out just about Kapralova but which now encompass so much. My hearty congratulations! I have been searching for information on Vitezslav Novak and found almost nothing of any use whatsoever except your pages, so once again "Thank you".
Peter Herbert, Dvorak Society of Great Britain

Creating a Web site commemorating a person who lived in the first half of the 20th century is quite a challenge. Interaction is obviously out of the question, so it all boils down to finding good bibliographic resources to make it a worthwhile read. These pages, devoted to the famous Czech composer and conductor Vitezslava Kapralova, are also notable for their presentation of her original scores, a comprehensive discography, photographs, and a bibliography. Check it out.

Thank you for your excellent website on Kapralova and the 1938-1940 chronology.
Judith Fiehler, Library of Congress

The Kapralova Society. Named after a short-lived 20th-century Czech female composer, the Kapralova Society is dedicated to promoting women in music. Its website lists an enormous number of female composers from seemingly every era in western music. Many appear on the site simply as a name and a lifespan, but about one-third of the composers have their own website which is linked to this site. A valuable, stimulating resource.

Thank you for including me in your important Women Composers Internet site. This is a very valuable resource on women composers.

The list of composers and works at your website was just the kind of thing I was looking for.
David Breckbill, Nebraska Public Radio Network

Your sites are extremely well done, by the way. I always like visiting.
Judith Mabary, University of Missouri-Columbia

[The website] is a kind of a foundation to preserve and protect the memory of Kapralova and it's filled with all kinds of information, and anybody whose interest has in the least bit peaked by what we have been talking about tonight, go and have a look, it's very interesting.
Denise Ball in an interview with CBC host Eric Friesen for CBC Radio Two on 3.5.2001 at 21:10

Often overlooked in online surveys of composers are the hundreds of women who have made lasting contribution to the world of music. This site, part of the Women in Music project of Ontario’s Kapralova Society, helps fill the gaps with this impressive of female composers.

Women Composers. Although they modestly state they are "by no means the ultimate database of women composers", this site does an excellent job of providing biographies on more than 200 women composers.
The Brooks-Cork Library Website, Shelton State Community College, Alabama (as at May 11, 2005)

Congratulation for your very clear, intelligent and well done web-site.
Monique Bar

A comprehensive list of female conductors drawn up by the Kapralova Society (named after the Czech composer Vitezslava Kapralova and "dedicated to promoting women in music") is striking not simply for its energetic pursuit of names both known and obscure, but because it needs to exist at all.
Guardian Unlimited

How incredible to find this site - what a wonderful tribute to the women of the podium! Congratulations on taking the time to honor all of these wonderful musicians.
Liza Grossman, conductor

Your web site about Vitezslava Kapralova is excellent.
Elinor Morrisby

However, I must express my deepest gratitude to 'Sam in Malta' for having sent me the link to The Kapralova Society. What a treasure trove it is! There are currently 362 women conductors listed there. Can you believe it? 362! I kept getting lost at the site, wandering around, enjoying myself immensely!

The Dvorak Society is pleased to draw attention to the extremely valuable work of the Kapralova Society whose success is very much due to the efforts of Karla Hartl, its Founder and Chair.

Congratulations on your beautiful page that is for all of us a source of information and discovery!
Prof. Nelly LiPuma, composer

Una de las conclusiones inescapables de esta discusión es que el podio y la batuta parecen seguir siendo reductos fundamentalmente masculinos, sobre todo en sociedades atávicas, excluyentes y machistas como la nuestra. ¿Alguno de ustedes recuerda a Isabel Mayagoitia? ¿Alguno de ustedes ha visto dirigir a Teresa Rodríguez, Gina Enríquez, Josefina Álvarez Ierena, Gabriela Díaz Alatriste o Evelyn Groesch? ¿No? Entonces, a manera de introducción tangencial, remito al lector interesado en las directoras de orquesta a asomarse a la página www.kapralova.org/CONDUCTORS.htm, en la que hay interesantes sorpresas.
Juan Arturo Brennan

It's amazing how much material is available on her (Kapralova) and listed so clearly on the site.
Naomi Oliphant

Congrats on the website, it's an excellent chronicle of Kapralova's short life.
Rob Brown, filmmaker

Most of us cannot imagine a woman conducting an orchestra. Maestro Ioannides is the first female conductor many of us have ever seen. The Web site www.kapralova.org, is a project dedicated to women in music. It spotlights 362 women conductors. We can give celebration, that one of the women featured on that website is the conductor of the Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra!

Hello -- I first discovered your site two years ago, when I wrote about women conductors http://www.mvdaily.com/articles/2005/08/women.htm. Now I'm writing about women composers, and there you are! Fabulous.
Kelly Ferjutz

But -- hang on to your bonnets! Go here, and revel in more than seven hundred women composers! And get this! All these composers of classical music have to have been recorded on CD in order to be eligible for inclusion. Yes, Yes! YES!!!!! Oh, joy! You'll love it. Guaranteed.
Kelly Ferjutz, mvdaily.com

From The Kapralova Society Journal I learned a lot about narrow-mindedness of male psychology and philosophy colleagues regarding the "women composer question".

As is so often the case, cultural dictates certainly influenced the exposure women composers have had down thru the ages. [U]pon learning of the great French pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, who had taught such greats as A.Copland, V. Thompson, Roy Harris (I think) and even Phillip Glass, I thought, hmm,.... where are the women composers? Turns out there were, and are many. And they were, are, so very talented every bit as much as men, but without the societal impediments men didn't have to deal with. Turned out to be an amazing area of musical discovery, the music of women composers. I can't recommend enough the guys checking out their work. Here's just one of many links to get you started. http://www.kapralova.org/DATABASE.htm .

Q: Ma la Direzione e la Composizione, quelle sì che sembrano essere tabu per le donne del nostro tempo e qui penso che le ingerenze maschili(ste) non possano venire tirate in causa. Si tratta di una condizione di cui non so spiegarmi l'essere; forse la mancanza d'interesse verso queste forme artistiche? Forse soltanto una donna ci può dare una risposta in tal senso.
