Any further questions? #gutstrings #tchaikovsky 🙋‍♂️

How Ornette Coleman’s ‘Shape of Jazz to Come’ is quoted in ‘A Complete Unknown’, check my post on LinkedIn

Thanks 🙏 😊 for your kind words about our first Tchaikovsky album… and happy to share the news that the release of Vol. 2 is less then one week away!

Exiting news from my favourite stringquartet @dudokquartet.bsky.social

March 1987 Conlon Nancarrow visited Amsterdam. Wonderful memories. Almost 40 years later I’m rereading Kyle Gann’s book (1996 review 👇 by @erikvoermans.bsky.social ) while listening to the wonderful arrangements (2008) for Reed Quintet & piano made by @raafhekkema.bsky.social @calefax.bsky.social 😊

Wonderful performance of Helmut Lachenmann’s ‘My Melodies’ by HR-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt (including eight solo horns) conducted by Matthias Hermann. After following his works from the late eighties this piece seems to be his magnum opus.

Tomorrow I’ll take the train to Frankfurt for a 45 minute experience (some pieces just have to be listened to live) #MyMelodies

Coming up next Friday: Helmut Lachenmann’s ‘My Melodies’ by HR Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt, looking forward 😊

OPERA2DAY directors & board 😊

Sunday morning, perfect timing for 👇

Deventer Grey, De IJssel 4.31pm

Some more tickets secured 😉, another country, another hero, looking forward to hearing My Melodies by Lachenmann 👍#wegaandegrensover

Tickets secured 👍 ‘Rituel’ live (it’s been a longtime) looking forward 😊 #Boulez100

Over talent en kansen gesproken. Olv Arjan Tien ‘deed’ het VU-Orkest Mahler9 in Het Concertgebouw. Topavond! Ontroerende klasse. Complimenten aan concertmeester Heleen Brüggen, alle musici én het bestuur 👏 👏 👏 (1/2)

Onze brief in de Volkskrant:

Als Jan Brokken op de radio ‘De tuinen van Buitenzorg’ van Leopold Godowsky hoort, herinnert hij zich de brieven die zijn moeder vanuit Java en Celebes aan haar in Nederland achtergebleven zus schreef. 1/2

Luister toch naar Diepenbrock! ‘t kan niet genoeg gezegd worden

❤️

As if she’s saying: “well played guys” 😉 Karina Canellakis & Radio Filharmonic Orchestra radiated in the Symphonic Suite ‘Elektra’ by Alphons Diepenbrock.

This impressed me; Bodemgruis (book of steel by @sophiadevries.bsky.social)

looking forward to return to Northwestern University next week 👇

Off to TivoliVredenburg Utrecht for Alphons Diepenbrock’s Symphonic Suite ‘Elektra’ by Radio Filharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karina Canellakis

1967-1972. Although there is a dearth of documentation, some say the music between the death of John Coltrane and the death of Lee Morgan was the greatest jazz of all time. In @thenation.com, my cover story on Slugs' and the archival release FORCES OF NATURE: www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Wrote about Luciano Chessa's project to rebuild the Futurist noise orchestra for @theguardian.com ahead of tomorrow's concert @wigmore-hall.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

I like composers who have something to say. Always did. In 1985 Morton Feldman mentioned Wolfgang Rihm in a lecture I attended. The name stuck. Rihm (his music in combination with his way of observing everything around him) impressed me (a lot). 1/2

Monday June 16 1986 Giacinto Scelsi attended a concert with his music at Paradiso Amsterdam during the Holland Festival. I was there too and remember that the mysterious composer from Italy caused quite a stir among the audience.

Sunny Christmas; enjoying clear blue skies while hiking the hills around La Ciotat, Côte d’Azur; bonnes fêtes à tous! 😊

Happy festive season! 🎄🎻

Adagio appassionato (1904) #Lyon

‘Ridder voor de kunsten’ Jan Zoet (1958-2024) was theaterman in hart en nieren

Alphons Diepenbrock, Ivan Fischer and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; it’s a terrific match! Fischer’s poetic rendering of the ‘Marsyas Suite’ left everybody breathless 😊 and this orchestra (with so much young talented musicians) was absolutely fabulous. Many thanks to everyone involved 🙏

Our album Tchaikovsky - The String Quartets Vol. 1 is among the 5 Best Classical Albums of 2024 according to @trouw.nl 🙏☺️
