The Klaviertrio Hannover lands a real coup with its world premiere recording of three piano trios by the composer Emilie Mayer, who has long received too little attention! The works, newly discovered by the ensemble's pianist Katharina Sellheim and specially edited by the trio based on manuscripts, rank with the great piano trios of the 19th century. They are works by a composer whose symphonies were performed throughout Europe in the mid-19th century and whose work secured her a firm place in the contemporary music world. Through its editorial work and inspired interpretation of these three trios, the Hannover Piano Trio provides an essential piece of the puzzle to complete our understanding of the Romantic era!

NDR
"She has rediscovered nine chamber music pieces. Only three of them have been published by Katharina Sellheim. The treasure of Emilie Mayer is far from being recovered."

Review by Steve Arloff in MusicWeb International from October 4 2022
Hannoversche Allgemeine
"Mayer's D minor trio and its sister piece in E-flat major stand up to high comparisons with their rapturous melodicism and compact form. All the more astonishing that the pieces could fall into oblivion."
