About
The women composers heard here were never hidden: they were present, active, and often celebrated in their own time, their music performed, published, and enjoyed alongside that of their male contemporaries. Some of them moved in the same artistic circles as Mozart, Haydn, Liszt, Grieg, and others; their works meet the same highest artistic standards. In Plain Sight does not set out to argue or proclaim. Rather, it offers a listening experience created by genuine fascination with this repertoire – some of it recorded commercially for the first time – and trusts the music to speak with its own authority.
