Genius Musical Friends

After the successful series about Hummel programme maker/presenter Thijs Bonger starts a new series on Tuesday 3rd April 2018 between 19.00 and 20.00 CET: Genius Musical Friends.Mozart en Haydn

Even before they actually met Haydn was a shining model for the 24 year younger Mozart. Haydn was already famous and Mozart was just beginning his career. Following Haydn's example, Mozart wrote a symphony full of strong emotions, a symphony which became famous through the film ‘Amadeus’.

Haydn's equally passionate symphony which inspired Mozart is now never heard. Haydn's string quartets also made such an impression on Mozart that he himself wrote some. Programme maker/presenter Thijs Bonger sought out what Haydn and Mozart meant for each other. That has led to a new series of programmes.

Broadcast: Tuesday 3 April and subsequently every 1st Tuesday of the month at 19:00 CET on the Concertzender.

EEvery first Wednesday of the month Thea Derks follows the musical trail of Reinbert de Leeuw on the basis of her biography Reinbert de Leeuw, mens of melodie. In April she continues her survey of his work at the Holland Festival.Luigi Dallapiccola

In the previous episode you could listen to music by various composers including Franz Schreker and Steve Reich. These were recordings of concerts from the Holland Festival, where Reinbert de Leeuw was a regular guest from the mid-60's. Not only as pianist and composer but also as conductor.

He was involved in 1966 with the famous multimedia spectacle Labyrint by Peter Schat and his own graphically notated Music for Piano II. In this the piano was played with flat hands and the elbows, so that mostly clusters of notes were heard.
