Juon - Viol Chamber Music Music CD

Paul Juon was in many respects a 'traveler between the worlds.' Not only geographically and culturally between East and West but also musically between Romanticism and Modernism. Perhaps it was Claus-Christian Schuster, the first pianist of Vienna's Altenberg Trio, who most successfully characterized Juon's music, which cannot be assigned to any school or trend, when he wrote: 'The shadow of homelessness falls on his works as well as on his life: not a Swiss, not a Russian, not a German; not a Romanticist, not a modern composer, not a folklorist - but yet a bit of all of them, and beyond that, in an engaging manner, a sincere and humanly impressive personality.'
