Pi-Chin Chien; Bernhard Parz - Emile Jaques-Dalcroze: Works For Violoncello & Piano

Of the most prolific and world-famous composers from Switzerland, none fell into oblivion faster after his death than EmileJaques-Dalcroze. With the late Romantic Joseph Joachim Raff, born in Lachen (Canton Schwyz), he shares the multitude of compositions in various genres, with his friend Arthur Honegger the multitude of publishers in France, England and Switzerland.

Born as a contemporary of Jean Sibelius five years after Mahler and Hugo Wolf and ten years before Ravel, who influenced him less than the German Romantics, Jaques-Dalcroze developed a distinct personal style at the turn of the 20th century.
