Gerard von Brucken Fock, talented and yet forgotten

An episode about this mostly forgotten Dutch pianist, composer, music critic and painter Gerard von Brucken Fock (1859-1935). Edward Grieg called him the ‘Dutch Chopin’, and its especially his piano music that has a special quality. Today, we honour his music again.
