Synopsis

Album Description
WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING! After a succesful 16-year career as leader of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, violinist Jaap van Zweden has already conducted two main Dutch orchestras and will be assigned to Edo de Waart?s job as artistic leader of both Dutch Radio Orchestras. Van Zweden knows George Pieterson very well, because the latter has been the solo clarinet player in the Concertgebouw Orchestra for many years. Both skillful musicians give their best in Brahms?s soulful clarinet quintet. The Amsterdam Saxophone Quartet assists Van Zweden in a special arrangement for violin and saxophone quartet of 22 songs from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. Henk Huizinga?s brilliant arrangement of Bernstein?s music is recorded here for the first time. Two major works on one mid-price CD!
