Emilie Mayer: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 Ndr Radiophilharmonie, Mcfall

No woman composer of the time compiled an oeuvre as extensive as that of Emilie Mayer, who made contributions to a wide range of musical genres. She succeeded in doing what remained a mere dream for most women composers of her generation: she reaped great praise from the critics and pursued a successful career as a composer. Emilie Mayer wrote her eight symphonies between 1845/46 and 1857.
