The recorder is back – with a vengeance! Forget the well-behaved instrument you learned at school: Lucie Horsch makes the slender tube growl, whisper and sparkle as if you were hearing it for the very first time. In Sleepwalk, the brilliant Dutch musician with an array of
international awards walks arm in arm with the unsurpassable B’Rock Orchestra through a track list guided by the capricious logic of nightly musings. The trip begins with Vivaldi’s picturesque nocturne La Notte and Corelli’s warm Christmas concerto before shifting to the mystic territory of Kurtág, Bartók, Hosokawa and Yun. And then, like a dream that suddenly changes: a brand new work by Rob Zuidam, written to suit these musicians down to the last note. Enchanting, unfathomable, pure adventure. Sleep can wait till later.
