Film: Tour de chanson
19.01.2012Watch our short film with Matthias Kadar and Hans Flupsen. They talk about our next programme, Tour de chanson. The chansons of Matthias Kadar tell his personal life-story. He sings them in the four languages that sum up the course of his life: German, French, Hungarian and Dutch. In collaboration with the Nederlands Kamerkoor he presents his own work and arrangements of existing chansons. He confronts us with Schubert as a chansonnier and Brel as a composer of lieder. And this time we provide a special recipe for Hungarian körözött ánd mousse-au-chocolat!
