Albert Brussee - Bernard van der Sigtenhorst Meyer: Piano Music

The early piano music of the Dutch composer Bernhard van den Sigtenhorst Meyer (1888�1953) suggests the art of the miniaturist painter. These �portraits� of birds, flowers, landmarks and other natural phenomena have the static and studied quality of Japanese prints and owe much to French Impressionism: they sit somewhere between Debussy and Satie, and unfold with gentle, unhurried dignity. Albert Brussee offers a final bonne bouche with his own gentle tribute to Van den Sigtenhorst Meyer.
