Whilst the quality of the music these women composed is indisputable, there are also fascinating background stories for all these pieces which often illustrate the personal and societal pressures faced by creative women in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYoshi describes the album's concept: 'to present the compositions of women as masterpieces by truly great composers. Musicians and music lovers often feel confident that great works that exist in this world must already be a part of the standard repertoire. However, this album proves that there are hidden gems that deserve more recognition are still out there! It is my aspiration that, in encountering both the familiar and the unfamiliar within this collection of pieces, listeners will transcend considerations of gender or race and recognise these compositions simply as expressions of profound beauty crafted by masterful composers'.\u003cp\u003eAmy Beach: Romance, Op. 23\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClara Schumann:Three Romances, Op. 22: I.
