Mayer: Three Violin Sonatas

Pierre Larsen, Emeline;
Weyer, Sabine

CPO 555 602-2

Born a year before Richard Wagner and dying two months after him, the apothecary's daughter Emilie Mayer from Friedland in Mecklenburg represents a type of composer who clearly moved away from the foundations of the classical masters and into her own orbit. The artist, who has found a home at cpo, composed eight symphonies, several concert overtures, a piano concerto, songs and a plethora of chamber music. The violinist Emeline Pierre Larsen has already released a highly acclaimed first string quartet album with her Constanze Quartet. She is now beginning a complete recording of Mayer's violin sonatas, in which the classical-proto romantic tone of the revered masters once again crumbles without reverting to eclecticism – a strong talent, whose stature is beyond doubt for convincing and championing interpreters.

Works:

•Mayer, E: Sonata for Violin and Piano in D Major
•Mayer, E: Sonata for Violin and Piano in E Flat Major
