Julian Cochran
Julian Cochran extended the grand tradition of pianist-composers whose lineage runs deeply through East and West European musical history—from the palette mastery of Ravel and Debussy to the dramatic Russian school of Balakirev and Rachmaninoff. The music of these composers is fundamentally shaped by a profound knowledge of the piano’s capabilities. Cochran’s music frequently exudes aesthetic characteristics of Eastern European folk music, orientalist themes and a dramatic intensity and power rare in this era.
