labelnews_text[0] = "Sabine Meyer is regarded as one of the most outstanding soloists of our time. It is largely due to her that the clarinet, often underestimated as a solo instrument, has regained its prominence on the concert platform.<br /><br />After studying with Otto Hermann in Stuttgart and Hans Deinzer in Hanover, Sabine Meyer joined the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich and subsequently played with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra as solo clarinet. As she became increasingly in demand, as a soloist, she left the Berlin Philharmonic one year later and she now performs worldwide in concert, as well as on the radio and TV. Sabine Meyer has given recitals and concerts in all the major European musical centres, as well as in Brazil, Israel, Canada, Africa and Australia. For the past twenty years, she has also regularly performed in Japan and the USA and most recently in chamber concerts with Gidon Kremer and Oleg Maisenberg at Carnegie Hall, Ann Arbor and Houston.<br />  <br />Sabine Meyer was featured “Artist in Residence” at the Lucerne Festival in 2000, where she performed a wide variety of repertoire including the world première of Metamorphosis composed by Toshio Hosokawa, and performed with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Heinz Holliger. She returns regularly to the Lucerne Festival as guest soloist with the Festival Orchestra under the baton of Claudio Abbado. In summer 2002, Sabine Meyer made her debut with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, as part of the Salzburg Festival with conductor Christian Thielemann. <br />Additionally, she has performed in various chamber music projects: duo recitals with Lars Vogt, the Bläserensemble Sabine Meyer, as well as with the Big Band of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.  A committed chamber music player Sabine Meyer has performed with Barbara Hendricks, Bruno Canino, Aloys Kontarsky, Heinrich Schiff, Gidon Kremer, the Alban Berg and Hagen Quartets, and the Vienna String Sextet. In 2005/2006 she toured in Europe with the Hagen Quartet, and in the USA with the Tokyo String Quartet.<br /><br />In 1983, Sabine Meyer founded “Trio di Clarone” with her husband Reiner Wehle and her brother Wolfgang Meyer involving original works of Mozart with Bassetthorn. In 1988, Sabine Meyer founded the “Bläserensemble Sabine Meyer”, which is a collaboration between Principal woodwind soloists of major European orchestras. This Ensemble regularly performs internationally with a versatile repertoire, from classical to the present.<br /><br />A huge exponent of new music, composers including Jean Francaix, Edison Denissov, Harald Genzmer, Toshio Hosokawa, Niccolo Castiglioni, Manfred Trojahn and many more have dedicated their compositions to Ms. Meyer. In February 2008 she will perform the new double concerto for two clarinets by Peter Eötvös together with her brother Wolfgang Meyer. <br /><br />She has a prolific discography with EMI Classics including contemporary compilations, chamber collaborations, and the important solo concertos. In 1994 and 1996, she was awarded the ECHO-prizes of \"Artist of the Year\" for her exemplary recordings of the Stamitz Concertos. In 2000, she received this prestigious award for her recording of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic and Claudio Abbado. In Autumn 2003 she received it for the fourth time for the recording of works by Weber, Mendelssohn and Baermans with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. <br /><br />Sabine Meyer gives regular masterclasses in Germany, Italy, Austria, Japan and the USA.
