Dreams and Thunder

LUDWIG and accordionist Vincent van Amsterdam are creating a sound monument for the Belgian composer Wim Henderickx, who died in 2020. Music he dearly loved - by Bach, Liszt, Wagner and Pärt - is paired with one of his last works, the accordion concerto Dreams and Thunder. An important detail: Vincent van Amsterdam was closely involved in the creation of this work. Vincent van Amsterdam is a unique musician who, as OpusKlassiek once admiringly wrote, ‘can take on the colour of the music with his instrument like a chameleon’. He was awarded the Nederlandse Muziekprijs (Dutch Music Award) in 2016. Since that time, he has only become more versatile and colourful. Something he already demonstrated in early 2023 in collaboration with the ever-surprising LUDWIG, ‘that cheeky Dutch orchestra’, according to the LA Times.
