James Clapperton is a highly regarded pianist and composer, born in Scotland. Highly influenced at first by Ferneyhough, Finnissy and Xenakis his music has developed in a softer, more approachable and individual style which is at once "modern" and "romantic" in that it paints musical pictures and depicts programs of personal and historic subjects. Ideal for those wanting to delve into modern repertoire without the extremes of modernism.
