Jean Huré (1877-1930), virtuoso pianist and organist and a prolific composer who won acclaim in all genres. The worthy heir to Franck and Debussy, this showcase release provides a world premiere recording of the Sonata for violin & piano. This disc is also the occasion to welcome a newcomer to the Timpani label – Marie-Josèphe Jude. A pupil of Aldo Ciccolini and finalist at the prestigious Clara Haskil Competition, this first release is testament to her commitment to rare scores and superb playing.

Piano Quintet

“...the passionate performance [of the Violin Sonata] from Philippe Koch and Marie-Josèphe Jude does it proud...The half-hour Piano Quintet is...ardent and pastoral in equal measure, with a sort of modal rusticity and bucolic langour that lend the music individuality.”
