Global InformationAlexandru Hrisanide information
Alexandru Hrisanide (15 June 1936 – 19 November 2018) was a Romanian pianist and composer[1] who was a representative of late 20th century Romanian avant-garde. A Netherlands resident since 1974, he taught piano and composition at the Amsterdam and Tilburg Academies of Music. Hrisanide's music achieves an original synthesis between archaic melos and modes on the one hand, and the accomplishments of the modern Viennese school on the other. He won the Lili Boulanger Foundation Prize in 1965.[2][3]
