Baroque violinist Sophie de Bardonnèche pays tribute to French female composers of the 18th century.  The centerpiece works are three violin sonatas of Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, one of which is unpublished. No fewer than ten female composers — most new to the WFMT library – are represented in this programme of sonatas, overtures and dances devised by de Bardonnèche, a founder member of Le Consort, who is accompanied on her first solo album by her partners viola da gambist Lucile Boulanger and harpsichordist Justin Taylor.
