I'll certainly try to...  Great news, by the way. The Faust Overture was a great success, apparently.

My word, this would be something to look forward to! I do hope you are successful in recording it, Mark!  :)

So do I!  :) I've really taken to Mayer's music. Funny, I had the 7th (was 5th) Symphony on that CD with Louise Le Beau's Piano Concerto for seven or eight years and had played it only a couple of times. Since hearing the Fourth Symphony I'm really keen to hear more and especially the Faust Overture which is a very late work and her last big success.

I too am going through the process of re-assessment. I think her music is very strong: wonder if Chandos would be interested?

It's worth a punt, surely? The Fourth Symphony would make a very good calling card.
