Steven Vanhauwaert - Dispersion (Les Musiciens et la Grande Guerre)

The works brought together here partake of that mosaic which speaks diversely of man in the face of conflict. The Czech Schulhoff and the Italian Casella, with their opposing ideals and like the German Hindemith, explore new paths far removed from Romanticism, each via his own personality. Meanwhile, an unpublished sonata by the Belgian Moulaert is oblivious to the agitation of the conflict whereas Vierne thrusts us into the depths of a human drama where war is intertwined with personal pain.
