ABBATE MIZERSKA CD K MEYER








Emma’s first commercial CD is the world première recording of complete works for cello and piano by the contemporary Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer, featuring Polish cellist Evva Mizerska and pianist Katarzyna Glensk.

This was recorded in Warsaw in collaboration with the composer himself, and also includes a première recording of his 2nd Sonata. The CD has just been released by Toccata Classics and has been praised by The Strad magazine for "a great expressive range and impressive authority". It is available from high street retailers, or directly from the Toccata Classics website. Please click here to listen to samples.
   
Of his two cello sonatas (1983 and 2004) and Canzona (1981), Meyer writes: “I wanted the melody to be predominant – not a post-Romantic cantilena but absolutely contemporary. And the cello, like no other instrument, is perfect for that.”
