"This 2006 EMI recording of the second of two Concertos for two clarinets by Moravian composer Franz Krommer features the perfectly complementary playing of Sabine Meyer and Julian Bliss. (…) Accompanied with skill and grace by the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields led by Kenneth Sillito and recorded with clarity and fidelity by producer John Fraser, this disc will remind listeners why Meyer is considered one of the greatest living clarinetists and introduce listeners to a great young clarinetist."

Sabine Meyer is a German classical clarinetist. (…) By the 1990s, she had become one of the most notable solo clarinetists, and has released many recordings since then. She records exclusively with the EMI label and can often be heard on classical radio stations.

Edgar Meyer may not be a name on the lips of many classical music fans, but it should be. This soft-spoken composer and soloist with the double bass has a unique voice that capture much of the flavor of the Copland/Whitman/Ives/Faulkner view of the American sound. He is an accomplished soloist of a difficult instrument and has written a rather large body of work that incorporates the instrument he knows thoroughly.
