Not the kind of music we usually List here:  very straight common-practice 20th Century chamber music.  But the two composers featured, both Americans — George Walker and Florence Price — have been almost insanely ignored (sure, Walker got a Pulitzer — but when was the last time you've seen his music programmed?), given the extremely high quality of their music.  Could it be because they're Black — and one is a woman, to boot?
