The work of Emánuel Moór (1863-1931) should be celebrated as one of the most important achievements of Romantic music, but because of Moór's traveling life - he was born in Hungary, studied in Vienna (with Bruckner), performed in the US and throughout Europe, became a British citizen and settled and died in Switzerland - no single country has claimed and promoted him to the extent he deserves. Moór's musical language offers a deeply satisfying mix of contrapuntal mastery and fiery lyricism, as demonstrated by the works on this album - written for or with the viola. In time, he will be recognized as one of the masters of his era.
