„Never did I hear my music like this“ said composer Klaus Huber when Egidius Streiff played „Intarsimile“ (2010, his very last work) for the first time in its original microtonal version.

Egidius Streiff is one of those rare violinists combining various artistic elements: „My drama teacher P. Adalbert OSB taught me to enunciate, I learnt to sing on my instrument with György Kurtàg, but it was Hansheinz Schneeberger who taught me to dance around my beloved Pietro Guarneri fiddle. I love learning, and be it from my pupils!
