Hailed by The New Yorker as “…the mostremarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled historyof his instrument”, Mr. Meyer’s unparalleled techniqueand musicianship in combination with his gift forcomposition have brought him to the fore, where he isappreciated by a vast, varied audience.

He has alsorecorded an album featuring three of Bach’sUnaccompanied Suites for Cello. In 2006, he released aself-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recordedall 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 EdgarMeyer. In 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma,mandolinist Chris Thile, and fiddler Stuart Duncan for theSony Masterworks recording “The Goat Rodeo Sessions”which was awarded the 2012 Grammy® Award for BestFolk Album.
