Gyula Csapó's name isn't widely known in the American new music scene, but the effusive accolades by John Cage, György Kurtág, and Morton Feldman cited in the program booklet make it clear that it ought to be. Csapó was born in 1955 in Hungary, studied with Feldman, and has since taught at McGill, Princeton, and the University of Saskatchewan. The ...
Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a CD by its hokey title. Despite its cheesy name, Viola Swirl for the most part features some exemplary compositions for the viola along with some first-rate performances.
