Mayer Emilie: String Quartets Vol. 2

It "doesn't take long to be enthralled by Emilie Mayer's spirited and striking music. The same goes for the interpretation of the Constanze Quartet, which owes nothing to the music. You can look forward [...] to Vol. 2," said a well-known blogger after getting to know three string quartets by the Mecklenburg composer (jpc 11166695) The man can be helped, and not only he will be delighted with the second installment of the planned complete recording: Emilie Mayer, who was primarily celebrated as a symphonist during her lifetime, also proved herself to be a master of classical forms, subtle lines and fine harmonies in the supreme discipline of chamber music; many will regret that only seven of her twelve quartets have survived - just enough to fill a third CD in the near future.
