At the home of Peter Ritzen

Another private concert by Peter Ritzen in his Shunyi residence, for a small circle of friends.
This time a selection of Chopin, Bach, Liszt and more.
And the candles? Well, part of the storytelling by Peter, one piece was performed with candlelight only!
After the concert, a nice buffet was served.

A glimpse of his new symphony

Peter has composed a new symphony that he will publicly perform in Vienna (Musikverein) on 5 August, with a large orchestra, choir and organ. Title: Die Wildrose. Includes a German version of the Flemish song “Daar is maar één Land” from Anton van Wilderode.
Here a small sample, with Stella singing the German version.

The Wiener Musikverein, commonly shortened to Musikverein, is a concert hall in the Innere Stadt borough of Vienna, Austria. It is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra. The “Great Hall” (Großer Saal), due to its highly regarded acoustics, is considered one of the finest concert halls in the world.
“Daar is maar één land dat mijn land kan zijn” (1983) is from Cyriel Paul Coupé (28 June 1918 – 15 June 1998), a Belgian writer and poet, also known by the pseudonym Anton van Wilderode.
