background
Conductor and recorder icon Frans Brüggen (1934-2014) changed the image of the recorder forever and inspired many recorder players and ensembles at home and abroad. He also founded the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and was at the forefront of authentic performance practice. Yet Brüggen was also very fond of new music. His good friend and distinguished composer Louis Andriessen wrote several works especially for him.
Together with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, Cappella Amsterdam, presented a concert in which the love for both the old and the new can be heard. The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and Cappella Amsterdam were joined by the talented recorder player Lucie Horsch, who received the prestigious Dutch Music Prize during this concert. The program was performed live specifically to be videotaped – unfortunately for a nearly empty auditorium due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
