In this first volume of a series dedicated to German women composers of the 18th and 19th centuries, the Brazilian pianist brings together rare works in previously unreleased recordings.

Featuring pieces by Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn, Emilie Zumsteeg, Helene Liebmann, and Josephine Lang, SHE, INVISIBLE VOL. 1 reveals itself as a selection of great historical and musical relevance. Highlights include the world premiere recordings of “Trois Polonaises: No. 3” by Emilie Zumsteeg; “Drei Klavierstücke: III. Heimweh” by Josephine Lang; and the third movement, Allegro vivace, from Helene Liebmann’s “Grand Sonata for Piano, Op. 3”. By bringing together lyrical miniatures, scherzos, nocturnes, dances, and a large-scale sonata, Karin Fernandes highlights the aesthetic breadth and expressive power of these brilliant female composers, who remained absent from the mainstream piano repertoire for a long time.

Under the pianist’s sensitive gaze, the album reinforces the importance of listening in the present, transforming musicological research into artistic achievement; it rediscovers a legacy of beauty and lyricism, neglected for decades, but by no means erased.
