The works of the Swiss composer Jean Perrin rank among the gems of 20th-century music. The profound originality of these works, whose composer refused to follow the fashionable trends of the day, is finding more and more admirers today, twenty years after Perrin’s death.

The present CD documents a portion of Jean Perrin’s oeuvre. Subsidized and made possible by the Jean Perrin Foundation, this project underscores the composer’s broad compositional spectrum through the choice of the works on the recording.

All the performers share a great love and enthusiasm for both the chamber music and other works of Jean Perrin, and have found in the Kammerakademie Potsdam with the conductor Jean-François Antonioli a partner ideally suited to this special oeuvre while being on a qualitative par with the soloists.
