1200 Years Of Female Composers:

[Nebraska]

1012 tracks, 3.7 days) Sorted by the birth years of the composers. It's a Spotify anthology of women composers, as well as a brief history of western classical music. It's really fascinating to hear music constantly reinventing itself from the monophonic and deeply spiritual medieval chant of Hildegard all the way into Higdon's lush and ultra-modern percussion concerto.

Cool! Saving this one.

I'd actually love to see a properly curated album one, from earliest to most recent and at least including people like Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram.
