Info for Emilie Mayer: Piano Concerto - Symphony No. 1 - Overtures (Symphonic Works, Vol. 1)

Her works bear witness to a strong personality: Emilie Mayer is one of those female composers who have been relegated to the shadows of their male counterparts for far too long. The musicians of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin have decided to do her justice with a fine symphonic trilogy. Their first programme features two of her most remarkable works, performed on period instruments, including the marvellous Blüthner chosen by their guest artist for the day, Alexander Melnikov.

"Forck and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin play with zest, commitment and impeccable balance - and the engineering is first-rate. An auspicious opening to a cycle of Mayer's complete orchestral works that should only get better as it moves to her more mature and even more striking scores." (Gramophone)
