Search - Philippe Graffin, Jelger Blanken, Willem Pijper :: Pijper/Escher: Violin Sonatas

Willem Pijper and Rudolf Escher are two major figures in 20th-century Dutch music. Pijper was a symphonist, composer of operas and a noted writer on music. The music of Escher, a student of Pijper, is influenced by Debussy, Schoenberg and Ravel. Ton de Leeuw and Alexander Voormolen are little-known outside of Holland. This is an important release of rarely heard music by the most influential Dutch composers of the last century, performed with passion and virtuosity by Philippe Graffin and Jelger Blanken.
