Pressinfo

*****
Roughly five years since first appearing in these pages (cross-reference below), Wouter Vercruysse has taken the next bold step in his career by sharing three works of his own creation to lift off Folies de Flandre: Triptych for Cello.
The trio of solo compositions remind one and all as to how globalization is not confined to markets, media and popular culture.
Like many before him, the composer-cellist looks back generations to find snippets of melody, texture and tone then adds his own very personal stamp while weaving the disparate parts into an entrancing whole.

Wouter Vercruysse: astonishingly lithe, rhapsodic playing. Three solo cello pieces by Vercruysse himself - Bird from Isfahan, Ijslandvaart and Giantesque - open the disc, combining the influences of folk musics (from as far apart as Iraq and Iceland) and also displaying Vercruysse's highly charismatic playing - he can imbue the simplest phrases with potentous meaning.
