The brainchild of Xavier Sabata, this CD is a tribute to those we have called the 'invisibles'. Who were they? They were composers who are little known today although renowned in their time; they were instrumentalists of high professional stature, so valiant as to deserve a solo part written expressly for them in vocal scores such as operas and serenades (ascending to a solo role of equal dignity to singers).
