Description:

Until the late 20th century, women rarely became professional musicians. With the exception of a few, such as Clara Schumann, social and political oppression meant that no matter how much musical talent they demonstrated, it was never allowed to go beyond mere apprenticeship, and many talents were buried without ever blossoming. Included on this album is a collection of works by several "successful" women composers. The album includes works by Amy Beach of the U.S., Viardot-Garcia of France, and Pejacevic, who has been in the spotlight recently, as well as works by Le Beau, Mayer, and Paradis, giving us a taste of their abundant talent.
