Emilie Mayer was regarded by her contemporaries as the “female Beethoven”, but the North German composer's extensive oeuvre has since been largely forgotten - and can now be rediscovered with this overture. Bregenz-born composer Richard Dünser dedicates a very different kind of homage to his great predecessor Brahms: his Piano Quartet op. 25, once premiered with Clara Schumann, is transformed here into a concerto for two pianists and string orchestra. At the end, the Vltava flows through Smetana's “Fatherland” - a romantic study of his homeland, which with “Tábor” also refers to the reformer Jan Hus and thus directly to Constance.
