Dreaming of Flying Machines
16.11.2007Every now and then you get one of those productions which the press barely even notices, but which for those involved are important and also intrinsically successful. Dreaming of Flying Machines proved to be just such a project.
The Nederlands Kamerkoor was conducted by its permanent guest conductor Peter Dijkstra, giving concerts in Gouda, Coevorden, Amsterdam and Utrecht of a programme of 20th-century works, all of which had something to do with flying or dreaming, and sometimes even with both. Wonderful music!
The CD made of this programme, which is expected to appear in the autumn of 2008, will undoubtedly bear witness to that fact, as will - even sooner, on December 6th - the recording made by the choirs media partner KRO Radio 4.
In the meantime there remains the memory of the beautiful concerts and of the impact the music by Ligeti, Boyd, Salonen, Whitacre and Jackson made on the listeners, however unfamiliar it was to most of them.
