Our delightful PR & Communications Manager Allie Summers has selected Amalie’s Cosmos with harpist Anne-Sophie Bertrand:
“As a female musician myself, I admire Anne-Sophie Bertrand not only for her artistry and sensitivity as a performer, but also for the vision behind this recording. By centering Amalie Beer, a woman too often overshadowed by the famous men around her, she restores attention to the essential role women played in shaping Europe’s artistic and intellectual life. Her salons were spaces where music, ideas, and innovation flourished, and where women artists such as Fanny Hensel and Pauline Viardot could be encouraged and heard.
The program itself feels luminous and intimate, weaving together works of elegance, imagination, and emotional depth. Anne-Sophie Bertrand brings every piece to life with warmth, intelligence, and grace.
What makes this album so powerful to me is Bertrand’s celebration of the female artistic legacy, not only through performance, but through courage, mentorship, and cultural leadership. Amalie’s Cosmos reminds us that music history was also shaped by strong, creative women whose influence deserves to be recognized and cherished – and those kinds of women are still among us today, making great records.”
Amalie’s Cosmos with harpist Anne-Sophie Bertrand is available now physically and digitally.
