About
Pijper was a symphonist, composer of operas, and a noted writer on music, and his enthusiasm for motor cars saw him publishing ‘The Artistic Side of Motoring’.
Escher was one of Pijper’s pupils. He assimilated the influences of Debussy, Schoenberg and Ravel, composed two symphonies and became a noted expert on modern music, embracing Boulez.
Hardly better known outside of Holland is Ton de Leeuw, who worked under Messiaen and Hartmann. His early music shows influences of Bartók, Hindemith and Pijper. The Violin Sonata dates from 1951. His later works reflect his interest in music from India and the Far East, and electronic sounds.
This is an important release of little-known music by the most influential Dutch composers of the last century.
