Dear readers, I would like to wish you all a wonderful new year. And post this photograph of my father, looking quite cheerful. It was with the recording of Die Todesfrau in the house of the Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest. My father was in good shape and it was a very good recording that has been made then, with the Nederlands Kamerkoor, conductor Klaas Stok, soloists Karin van der Poel (alto) , Hanneke de Wit (soprano), Kees Jan de Koning (bariton) , and Abbie de Quant (flute)and Pamela Smits (cello).
The cd is still available. So do not hesitate and write an e-mail to our foundation. We will be happy to provide you with the cd. Besides that on Friday 18th of February there will be a concert in Haarlem where The Concert in the Egg will be played. Please see for any details and tickets here.

We are very happy to release the shining debut album Die Fremde of Hannah Koob. Koob is a young Dutch-German top saxophonist who dedicates herself with immense energy to play unexplored repertoire for saxophone.
Die Fremde is a musical expedition along music that has a gloomy but evermore cheerful timbre. Virtuoso solo playing in the rarely performed The Stranger by the Dutchman Hans Kox, this is only the 2nd studio recording of the piece, in which Koob shows the extreme limits of the melodic and dynamic range of her alto saxophone. Lyricism and fluent interplay between piano and saxophone in the Partita by Erwin Dressel and compelling harmonies and ditto melody in Henk Badings’ La Malinconia. Two commissioned compositions complete this energetic and infectious debut: the cinematic Andante by Leonard Küßner and Halvdager by Andreas van Zoelen, the latter in the beautiful, rarely heard combination of saxophone and harmonium. Release dates: Physical: 12 November 2021 Digital: 26 November 2021 Today, 28th of September 2020, the double CD Hans Kox Chamber Music at Orlando, has been released.
