The Washington Post asserted that, "lovers of chamber music should put the Dover Quartet on their to-hear list." Founded less than a decade ago, the Dover Quartet jumped into the world chamber music spotlight when it won all four prizes at the 2013 Banff International Competition. Composer-performer Edgar Meyer-"the most remarkable virtuoso" (The New Yorker)-is a shape-shifting genius of an artist equally at home in classical, bluegrass, jazz and world music and a master at melding them together in compelling compositional style.
Meyer can be heard on a concerto album with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra conducted by Hugh Wolff featuring Bottesini's Grand Duo with Joshua Bell, Meyer's own Double Concerto for Bass and Cello with Yo-Yo Ma, Bottesini's Bass Concerto No. 2, and Meyer's own Concerto in D for Bass. He has also recorded an album featuring three of Bach's Unaccompanied Suites for Cello. In 2006, he released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba, and double bass. In 2007, recognizing his wide-ranging recording achievements, Sony/BMG released a compilation of The Best of Edgar Meyer. In 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and fiddler Stuart Duncan for the Sony Masterworks recording "The Goat Rodeo Sessions" which was awarded the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.
