Impressions parisiennes Quatuor Van Kuijk

These gentlemen

Trotignon is a jazz pianist and composer who pays little attention to genre boundaries – he knows his classics, but also plays songs by Led Zeppelin and David Bowie. In his new Ces messieurs ('These Gentlemen') for the Van Kuijk, Trotignon salutes the great French impressionists, such as Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré and Erik Satie. The Van Kuijk also plays pieces by the gentlemen themselves, such as those found on their latest CD, Impressions Parisiennes . The highlight is Ravel's phenomenal String Quartet in F from 1903, which aroused the admiration of Debussy – and many others.
