This CD, with four world premiere releases, offers a representative slice of 20th-century Swiss music, ranging from Othmar Schoeck?s late-Romanticism via the neoclassicism of Adolf Brunner to the Modernism of Ernst Widmer. Nearly fifty years separate Schoeck?s first and last major orchestral works, recorded here ? but his commitment to the German Romantic tradition remains undimmed. Brunner?s neoclassical Partita betrays the influence of Hindemith, but has a Brahmsian meatiness to its piano part, while Widmer?s influences in his exuberant concerto range from Bart?k to Brazilian street music.
