An ox on the roof
Last December, violin- and viola player Ig Henneman celebrated her 75th birthday. This would have been commemorated with a portrait concert in the Orgelpark in Amsterdam, but the coronavirus threw a spanner in the works. But there was the release of a new CD ‘Solo Songs for Instruments’ with five new pieces, inspired by poetry. The American soprano Katherine Dain released a CD as well, with modern music. It contains mostly French music, but the music of the Finnish/French Kaija Saariaho as well. Remarkable are the seldom-heard songs of Claire Delbos, Olivier Messiaen’s first wife.
