This is a program filled with first recordings although we did not mention that in the booklet since some critic is sure to discover a bad recording of one piece on some obscure CD label... Willem de Fesch was one of the most gifted, accomplished and pioneering composers of his time with a very distinctive personal vein, particularly in the smaller genre such as presented on this CD. He also exercised a great influence on his contemporaries. As virtuoso violinist, composer and teacher he worked in Amsterdam, Antwerp and London. Lately, new editions of his works are being published by Robert L. Tusler, Professor Emeritus of UCLA and the brilliant performances on this CD are based on these publications. The Ensemble d'Auvergne consists of dedicated and gifted musicians who have made a special study of De Fesch's compositions and their brilliant performances give full due to the genius of their composer.
