Ja dat viel mij ook op 🤔
Impressed by ‘Theory of Flames’ at Dutch National Opera. Many wonderful details, amazing technical realisation, lots to think about: Michel van der Aa @vanderaa.bsky.social is leading the way. Topman! 😊

Talking about Sweelinck: 1562 born in this house in Deventer, the Netherlands 🫶
Although ‘Hamnet’ was pretty rough around the emotional edges, the catharsis moment was absolutely magical and moved me deeply. If you want to know what art is capable of, go see this movie. Well done Chloé Zhao & team including @maxrichtermusic.bsky.social for composing a wonderful score 🙏

Tomorrow my new work for reed quintet, "Link," will be premiered at the Muziekgebouw by the fabulous Calefax.
"Link" was written to celebrate Calefax's 40th anniversary. 40 reed quintets from around the world joined forces, and performed a part of the piece: link.reedquintet.net
This Saturday, the @dudokquartet.bsky.social bring a powerful programme to #Bollington - from Saariaho’s Terra Memoria to Mussorgsky’s Songs & Dances of Death, ending with Schubert’s iconic Death and the Maiden.

Bravo Orchestra 18th Century and Jorinde Keesmaat for unveiling some of the hidden depths in ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’ by using Beaumarchais’ original source material. It takes guts to put on a production like this but you nailed it. Well done, congratulations! 👏👏👏
Was ‘n fijne avond! (zie ook mijn bericht op LinkedIn) 😅
Since my first ‘Music for 18 Musicians’ (1990 @paradisoadam.bsky.social, Wim Vos 🙏 cueing on xylophone) I heard the piece many times live (one time including Steve Reich on piano 🫶); simply love that piece. Congrats @hetmuziek.bsky.social & friends at Muziekgebouw Amsterdam; excellent performance! ❤️
great piece on Berio in the Times by Jeff Brown. The embedded musical examples were very welcome, too.

Early eighties I encountered HN in A.B. Spellman’s unsurpassed “Four Lives in the Bebop Business,” started listening to his music and to musicians influenced by him (such as Misha Mengelberg). Great mind, wonderful musicians, visionary composer ❤️
Lachenmann’s compositional signature is as unique as amazing and results in instant recognition. What a terrific composer! Next November 27th Lachenmann will celebrate his 90th birthday. Gratuliere! Many more happy returns maestro! 🫶 🙌 😊
After a brilliant performance of his ‘Tanzsuite mit Deutschlandlied’ (by the Diotima Quatuor and Gürzenich Orchester Köln conducted by Oscar Jockel) I bumped into Helmut Lachenmann backstage at the Kölner Philharmonie.
Some save their Springsteen, Beyoncé or Radiohead tickets. I saved my Andriessen tickets and treasure memories of great musical events.
While reading ‘Groots is de Liefde’ the wonderful biography by Jacqueline Oskamp a lot of those memories bounced up spontaneously from the past; like this one 👇
Funny how the brain works, 25 years later the memory of that opera event suddenly becomes crystal clear. Believe me, it was a fan-tas-tic summer evening in New York!
Tempus fugit, sure, fortunately Louis Andriessen was able to freeze time into great art 🙏
Zeven dagen Ferrara in de voetsporen van Georgio Bassani, Ali Smith, @bertwagendorp.bsky.social en vele anderen. De boeken kwamen helemaal tot leven. Wat een heerlijke stad!
Verschrikkelijk #woest 😤
Verschrikkelijk 😰
