'Women Behind the Strings' - Eszter Karasszon and Éva Szalai

Eszter Karasszon, cellist, and Éva Szalai, pianist, invite us on a journey of discovery into the work of early and late Romantic women composers. Is there a perceptible difference between the works of male and female composers, or is it only the conservative tradition that relegates the latter to the background? Many of them are hardly known to today's audiences or are only mentioned in connection with their husbands or brothers. Through the works of two French, two German and one Hungarian female composers, we gain an insight into a hitherto almost unknown slice of European Romantic music.
