Out since 6 September, but I didn't see a discussion here yet:

Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden: Chamber Music

  • Piano Trio in F major (1880)
  • Violin Sonata D minor (1878)
  • Nonet in C minor for Piano, bassoon, 2 horns, clarinet and string quartet (1901)

Oliver Triendl, piano / Member of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra

A lovely recording, which combines two youthful works with a more mature and also more substantial composition from the same period as her "Hymnische" symphony. After a first listen I can attest that the playing and sonics are both excellent; in the case of the trio much better than either of the available extant recordings. The Nonet turns out to be a lovely work which makes a good case for Kralik's later and more quirkily individual style.

No discussion, no, but there was a post back in June -- before it was released that is. :)
