Emilie Mayer Symphony No.4 & Piano Concerto, etc.

[Alan Howe]

Well, I'd certainly like to hear what, say, Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic might make of her symphonies. One can dream...

BTW while a quick Google search reveals no upcoming performances, it suggests that there were some very positive mentions of her (here in a 1909 article in The Etude for example, and another in a list of Faust-based compositions accompanying a performance of a Faust overture by someone else by the Boston symphony orchestra- suggesting incidentally that while she has been mostly forgotten, there was a time after her death when people did remember her work and its quality. I wonder if it was performed then too (more than once a decade)?
