WBK in Paris cover

 

Tactile
WOUTER SNOEI


"Snoei's compositions cover a broad range, from strictly synthetic to the most divergent forms of live electronics. That he has also played a leading role in dance music (in 1997 he won the 'Grote Prijs van Nederland' competition) marks him as a composer of the youngest generation, who no longer heed the ridiculous trench warfare between "serious" and "light" that spoiled twentieth-century musical thinking. Like Aristotle, Wouter Snoei sees that tragedy and comedy are like a brother and sister who cannot do without each other."

The New Music of
REGINALD FORESYTHE (1907-1958)


Extensive research by Willem Breuker has resulted in the CD release of the work by the British, almost forgotten composer/pianist, Reginald Foresythe (1907-1958).
English jazz publicist Val Wilmer and Dutch jazz historian Herman Openneer came up with the historical photographic material and liner notes.
All the recordings are from the period 1933-1945 and are performed by Foresythe’s own orchestra as well as by the orchestras of Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Benny Goodman and Paul Whiteman. The original 78 rpm records were restored by Harry Coster. This CD is unique because Foresythe’s work has been unavailable for a long time on records, even in the U.K..


 

FLUIT DOUCEUR

Recorder Music from the 20th Century


Contemporary music for recorder especially written for this instrument by internationally acclaimed composers.
Composers include Hindemith, Poulenc, Ibert, Leigh, Boehmer and Tal.
BVHAAST is bringing this to your attention because this musical genre is being performed intensively but is less known.

FIDGET


featuring Vera Beths, violin, and the New Music Choir / Koor Nieuwe Muziek


A collection of compositions by Sweelinck, Massenet, Foresythe, Eisler, Mingus, De Sarasate, von Schlippenbach and... Breuker.



 

Duo 7090 presents

BÉTON ARMÉ


Chamber Music by Iannis Xenakis


This cd originated from the wish to reproduce the power and energy of Xenakis' music. To achieve this, Bas Wiegers (violin) and Nora Mulder (piano) chose for Norbert Veel's NVG- ProCeDe: the extreme dynamics and colourfullness of Xenakis' music, of the instruments and musicians remain as powerful on cd as they are live. Pieces for violin, piano, trombone and string trio.
