More Info:
Wim Statius Muller, who came to be known as "the Chopin of Curaçao," spent just over 30 years in various security and counter-espionage organizations! Although for the most part Wim Statius Muller's music is based on folk dance rhythms, it is nevertheless garbed in the fine attire of concert music, with the waltzes and other dance tunes. The extraordinary musician Louise Bessette offers on this new album all 22 pieces from the Antillean Dances collection and gives these dances the "royal treatment," offering precise and exceptionally clear performances.
