Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra nominated for Grammy

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will be on 13th of february and broadcasted on
CBS 8.00 PM ET/PT

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
The special power of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra lies in the people who make each and every concert a special event. The orchestra members, conductors and soloists are responsible for the ‘visible’ component of the performance experience. Their individual talent and commitment contribute to the astonishing magic of the concert.Also essential to the creation of that magic, though, is the audience

Bruckner: Symphonies No. 3 and 4," Mariss Jansons, conductor
Ever since the tenure of its chief conductor Eduard van Beinum (1945–59), the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra has cherished one of the greatest Bruckner symphonic traditions in the world. With this release of Bruckner’s Third and Fourth Symphonies, Mariss Jansons and his Amsterdam-based orchestra add a new chapter to the RCO’s impressive performance and recording history of Bruckner’s works.
In Jansons’s view, the refinement of Bruckner’s music – however grandiose it may be – will always win out over grandiloquence. He continues the orchestra’s performance traditions, focusing particularly on the detail of the sound. Under Jansons’s baton, Bruckner has a warm, beating heart: his rhythms are not simply played, they are, above all, experienced.

Louis Andriessen&Dutch Piano Mills on WNYC/Q2 Radio

Louis Andriessen

Radioprogramme Q2 spotlights Dutch composer Louis Andriessen, who has, in ways both clear and covert, played a crucial role in the sonic idenity of Q2. Over a seventy-year career, Andriessen has amassed prestigious awards, including the 2011 Grawemeyer Award, composed prolifically and idiosyncratically and come to be regarded as one of the most sought-after composition teachers in the Western world. Beginning Monday, December 6 on Q2, WNYC aims to address that.

Dutch Piano Mills on Hammered

However, this week on Hammered! we showcase Dutch musical exports by focusing on some of the finest composers of contemporary keyboard music. In addition to the music of Q2's December Composer Portrait Louis Andriessen, we also sample works by Ton de Leeuw, Peter van Onna and Leo Smit.

André Rieu United States Tour

                               

November 29 - December 11, 2010

André Rieu
At University he performed the Gold And Silver Waltz by Franz Lehár. Encouraged by the audience reaction he decided to pursue the waltz form. Rieu formed the Maastricht Salon Orchestra and performed as a violinist with the Limburg Symphony Orchestra. In 1987, he created the Johann Strauss Orchestra and his own production company. Since then, his melodramatic stage performances and rock-star demeanor have for some been associated with a revival of the waltz music category. André Rieu plays a 1667 Stradivarius violin.

Johan Strauss Orchestra
The Orchestra began in 1987 with 12 members but now performs with between 40 and 50 musicians. At the time the Orchestra first toured Europe, there emerged a renewed interest in waltz music. The revival began in the Netherlands and was ignited by their recording of the Second Waltz from Shostakovich's Jazz Suites. As a result, Rieu became known as the waltz King.

Rieu and his orchestra have performed throughout Europe, in North America, and Japan. Winning a number of awards including two World Music Awards, their recordings have gone gold and platinum in many countries, including 8-times Platinum in the Netherlands.

He records both DVD and CD repertoire at his own recording studios in Maastricht in a wide range of classical music as well as popular and folk music plus music from well-known sound tracks and musical theatre. His lively orchestral presentations, in tandem with incessant marketing, have attracted worldwide audiences to this subgenre of classical music.

Some of his orchestra's performances have been broadcast in the United Kingdom and the United States on the PBS television network, such as the 2003 airing of Andre Rieu Live in Dublin, filmed in Dublin, Ireland, and 2005's André Rieu Live in Tuscany filmed in the Piazza Della Repubblica in the village of Cortona in Tuscany.
