I have a Vox set called Chamber Works by Women Composers, CDX 5029.  It
introduced me to composers I had never heard before and I like the music.
It contains works by the following:

   Clara Schumann
   Amy Beach
   Germaine Tailleferre
   Lili Boulanger
   Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel
   Teresa Carreno
   Cecile Chaminade

Is this the set you are referring to, Mimi? If it is, what is it you
dislike so much about about the Macalester Trio?

Regards.
