ABOUT THE RECORDING
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY

This LP (long playing) is not available anymore. It has become a valuable collectors item!


ABOUT THE RECORDING

The selection on this record offers a series of less known Dutch folksongs covering largely four centuries (from the 16th to the 20th century).
There was no attempt to give a representative cross-section of the Dutch folksong, neither by theme, nor by find-spot. It simply let you hear some beautiful songs in a performance which was felt to be valuable from artistic point of view.


WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY

G.L. from <Het Laatste Nieuws> wrote:
"Guy De Mey, assisted by the delicious playing of Raphaella Smits and Walter Heynen, proved once again that Flanders is enriched with a tenor of exceptional class. A listening feast."



Walter Heynen, flautist and composer (1944-1995)
