"With grace and ease, we move from medieval cantiga to Renaissance madrigal. All are impeccably rendered, not a hair (or note) out of place here. A particularly satisfying performance." - Harmonia

This recording explores the lives and talents of women composers and singers from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the early Baroque. It features music by Hildegard of Bingen, Barbara Strozzi and Francesca Caccini. The music was programmed by Alison Mackay, former member of The Toronto Consort.

This CD was originally released by SRI in 1993.
