Diede Verpoest; Claus Vermeule - Janacek, Bartok, Enescu, Tim Mulleman: Violin Sonatas

Featuring Diede Verpoest (violin) and Claus Vermeulen (piano), this new recording offers an insight into Eastern European music with a premiere recording by Tim Mulleman.The goal of our debut album is to present an anthology of twentieth-century Eastern-European music. Music that has a strong connection to its place of origin and local folk music.Composers such as Janacek, Bartok and Enescu wereexplorative in their own ways. Janacek, for example, developed a unique harmonic language and an improvisatory style within a late Romantic context. Bartok, on the other hand, often engaged with Expressionism, while Enescu was more influenced by the French Impressionists.Tim Mulleman�s work was written specifically for this CD. He reveals a contemporary perspective on our programme with the occasional nod to Enescu.
