Max Meyer-Olbersleben, born in 1850 in Olbersleben, Thuringia, studied at the Weimar Orchestral School under Franz Liszt, then at the Royal School of Music in Munich under Gabriel Josef Rheinberger and Peter Cornelius. He became a professor of counterpoint and composition in Würzburg and was director of the Royal Conservatory of Music until his retirement in 1920. 114 works were published in print during his lifetime, whereby he tended to use smaller forms such as choral works, songs and piano pieces. Thanks to his training in Weimar and Munich, Meyer-Olbersleben was familiar with both the traditionalist and new German musical trends of those years, and the chamber music gems recorded here for the first time bear witness to a deep Romantic sensibility and the spirit of a new musical awakening.
The works are performed by musicians who are very well known as soloists, even beyond the country's borders: Nina Karmon (violin), Roland Glassl (viola), Benedict Kloeckner (cello) and Oliver Triendl (piano).
