Works by Fanny Mendelssohn Clara Schumann Germaine Tailleferre Lili on CD

Centenaries often yield rich results in recordings... This one is music by women composers performed by the Women's Philharmonic under JoAnn Falletta which includes premieres of orchestral versions of two chamber-pieces, D'un Soir Triste and D'un Matin de Printemps. I have waited many years to hear these and am overjoyed that they sound so well. Following the piano score of the first, I wonder again 'how did Lili do it?' So many subtle sophisticated ideas: how did she think of them, or know they'd work? Because she was an artist-in-sound ! (Gramophone 1993)
