Expertly-crafted works by overshadowed female composers
Published:
‘Perhaps the greatest surprise of all is the set of six expertly-crafted pieces by Amanda Röntgen-Maier, which flavours early Grieg with an occasional dash of Dvořák, yet retains its own distinctive creative impulse. Irnberger’s sparkling tone and intonational purity combine to captivating effect.’
