Works by women composers are presented on this 1997 compilation, from Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger, Germaine Tailleferre, and Fanny Mendelssohn, to Amy Beach, to Thea Musgrave, to contemporaries like Ellen Taffe Zwilich and Meredith Monk. Performers range from the solo piano of Virginia Eskin, to various mixed chamber groups, to the Women's Philharmonic. While this represents just a small fraction of the music composed by women all over the world since the Middle Ages, the quality and variety will no doubt encourage the listener to explore the subject further!
