Louise Farrenc was a prominent and pioneering composer within the Parisian music scene in the 19th century. Champions of her repertoire, Laurence Equilbey and her period-instrument Insula Orchestra devote this album to two of her three symphonies: https://w.lnk.to/lfiLY

Farrenc was, of course, unusual as a female composer who achieved significant recognition, but she was also unusual as a symphonist: at the time, symphonies were not considered the domain of French composers, for whom opera was the Holy Grail. She had to wait four years for the premiere of her Symphony No. 1: she completed it in 1841, but it was not until 1845 that it was first performed, in Brussels rather than Paris. The first Parisian performance followed a few months later at a benefit concert mounted by Farrenc herself.
