De Musyck KamerA new The Musyck Room

On Sunday afternoon 13 March (from 3 - 5 pm) a new edition of The Musyck Room will be broadcast. The recording was made on Saturday 27 February 2016 at the Deken-
kapel of the Pieterskerk in Utrecht.

The guests of this episode were the trio Fantasticus with Rie Kimura, (baroque violin), Robert Smith, (viola da gamba) and Guillermo Brachetta (harpsichord). They played 17th-century music in the stylus fantasticus of F.M. Veracini and P.H. Erlebach. The German countertenor Kaspar Kröner and lute player Arjen Verhage performed English lute songs by Dowland, Danyel and Campion. Plus, members of the Utrecht ensemble Camerata Trajectina paid tribute to their recently deceased artistic leader, musicologist, and lute player Louis Peter Grijp.

For more information see our programme schedule.

 


Carl CzernyWhat? Is this really Czerny's?

In the weekly programme Absolutely
Classical
(every Wednesday from 2 to 3
pm, every first Wednesday of the month excepted) a four-part series about Carl
Czerny (1791-1857) will be broadcast in March.

- were he to miserably fail with a symphony
or a string quartet - it would damage his reputation as a decent piano teacher. That's
why, for example, some forty string quartets remained shelved.

Panorama De Leeuw XVII: Administrative low

Thea Derks follows the musical trail of Reinbert de Leeuw based on her biography Reinbert de Leeuw, mens of melodie (Reinbert de Leeuw,
man or melody
)

cover mens of melodie

Last time, a full version of the cycle Canto
General
sounded that Peter Schat composed in 1973. In this he was already looking for more intelligibility while Louis Andriessen, on the
other hand, developed a much more radical
style in that same period. In 1976, his international breakthrough came with his
pounding composition De Staat, which was
at the basis of the so-called the Hague School.

Board member

At the premiere, Lucas Vis conducts the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble with Reinbert
de Leeuw on piano. Not long after that, the
latter succeeded Mr Andriessen as board
member of publisher Donemus, on behalf of
the employees.
