5 stars for Pärt & Palestrina from BBC Music Mag
Again praise for our Pärt and Palestrina CD, read the review here:
“Many music-lovers know the story of how Palestrina saved polyphony from extinction at the hands of the Council of Trent. It’s a nice story, even if it is untrue. The Council was oncerned that complex counterpoint made it extremely difficult to follow the religious texts, which the delegates understandable considered to be of paramount importance in church music.”

Film: Tour de chanson
Watch 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!
