"Dutch violist Esther Apituley performs works ... with the kind of charismatic intensity and full-frontal virtuosity that had heretofore been the exclusive property of violinists and cellists, but which, through the power of her personality and the strength of her will, Apituley boldly claims for herself and her instrument." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE Esther Apituley is one of the greatest viola players of our time, alongside Kim Kashkashian and Yuri Bashmet. This broad, balanced program is a strong successor to Apituley's first CD, Violent Viola. Apituley is one of the few artists specializing in viola solo works but has also performed among others with the National Ballet Orchestra, the Metropole Orchestra, and the Radio Chamber Orchestra. Her repertoire is very open to the different genres within classical music, from baroque to modern compositions.
