Philip Thomas / Jürg Frey: Circles and Landscapes
by John Eyles
When the Swiss clarinetist and composer Jürg Frey was celebrated as Composer in Residence at the 2015 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, pianist Philip Thomas wrote of him, “Jürg Frey the composer is inseparable from Jürg Frey the composer.
