Bio
Grand prize winner of the 2001 Vriendenkrans Competition in Amsterdam, Canadian cellist Rachel Mercer was a member of the Metro String Quartet from 1994-2000 and later joined Aviv Quartet in 2002. The quartet was the first prize winner of the Melbourne and Bordeaux competitions. .. Rachel is also principal cellist of Via Salzburg, a chamber music series led by Mayumi Seiler and of award winning piano quartet Ensemble Made in Canada. She has won the Canada Council Instrument Bank Competition and she is now playing the legendary 1696 Bonjour Stradivarius cello... “Room”, her debut album, was released to worldwide critical acclaim. This “raw” sounding solo cello album was produced by Lior Suliman & Tal Weiss and recorded using 16 vintage microphones capturing every possible cello and room sound. Everything was later mixed to preserve the true impact and full range of sounds made by a solo cello playing in a room... In the album, she plays music by Ligeti, Kodaly, Britten, Bach, Reijseger and Uri Brener. .. "Rooms" is a series of albums capturing the rehearsal room "feel". The albums don't feature any "studio pyrotechnics" - just “raw” produced sounds... Rachel's new single, "Dialogue IV" (composed by Uri Brener), was just released as part of the "Allergy To Consciousness" singles series. You can listen to it on this page... .. .. ...... .. ...... .... You can buy Rachel's music directly from ..EnT-T.. (CD's only), at ..Amazon.. or at ..iTunes..... .. .. -
