Christophe Dejours arrangements of music by Albéniz (8.557064) and Granados (8.557709) performed by Trio Campanella have won much acclaim. For this recording he has made three pioneering arrangements that further expand the instruments repertoire and compass. Dejours arrangement of Gesualdos Canzon Francese del Principe is both expressive and idiomatic, and he explores two great 20th-century works in Bergs milestone Piano Sonata, Op. 1 and Bartóks profound and complex Sonata for Solo Violin which was inspired by Bach.
