About

This new release features even more world premiere recordings of the music of Amanda Maier (1853-1894). Amanda Maier was a Swedish-German composer, was married to fellow composer Julius Rontgen and was a close friend of Edvard Grieg, Johannes Brahms, and other great musicians of the time. The first volume of her music, released in 2016, was a huge success. On Volume 2, leading Swedish violinist Cecilia Zilliacus and pianist Bengt Forsberg perform Maier’s beautiful violin sonata, and Nine pieces for violin and piano. Soprano Sabina Bisholt makes her recording debut with her interpretation of Maier’s great songs. Eight of these seventeen tracks are world premiere recordings.

Awards and reviews

February 2018

Overflowing with enchanting lyrical invention, the Sonata compels the listener along with a keen sense of emotional narrative. Cecilia Zilliacus and Bengt Forsberg play this ravishing score with a melting sensitivity, phrasal intuitiveness and infectious spontaneity so completely at one with the music, it feels as though one is on a hot-line to the composer’s original source of inspiration.
