NEW RELEASE
The Russian Album
All live recordings
Dutch cellist Roeland Duijne proudly presents this Russian cello album. He has assembled an appealing compilation of gems from the cello repertoire – music that he has performed with his characteristic tone on many stages throughout the world including those four live recordings. Live recordings are generally less characterized by technical perfection, but reflect artistry and atmosphere better than polished, sometimes somewhat sterile studio recordings. The repertoire he has chosen is tailor made for him and his musical companion: the Giuseppe Sgarbi cello (1853).
Roeland has chosen recordings of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Kabalevsky, accompanied by the Magogo Chamber Orchestra, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, the Philips Symphony Orchestra and his regular piano partner Rie Tanaka.
The series Chamber Music in the King’s Hall (Kamermuziek in de Koningszaal, KAMUKOZA) is an initiative by Roeland Duijne and his partner in ‘crime’ Jules van Hessen (Maestro Jules), who also presents all the concerts to the public in his unique way.
Chamber Music in the King’s Hall
ARTIS King’s Hall restored to its former glory
This beautiful hall is part of The Groote Museum, which has been open since 1855, gave space to meetings of the
Society Natura Artis Magistra and where performances were held.
The Stadsschouwburg and the Concertgebouw didn’t exist yet and so it fulfilled Groote Museum is an important place for this cultural life in Amsterdam. After a spectacular renovation unique historical place new since 2021 living in. The King’s Hall also has beautiful acoustics and deserved it to be rediscovered.
New life in the best preserved
secret of Amsterdam
Both the Groote Museum and the King’s Hall since the near-bankruptcy closed to the public in 1947. The building is fallen into oblivion and the halls that are in the Groote Museum houses are the same best kept secret in Amsterdam.
With old and new music, new and young
audience, and up-and-coming talent want the new founded chamber music foundation in the King’s Hall give the King’s Hall back to the city.
Artis supports this initiative because the organization welcomes the fact that there is music and live in the lower rooms of the museum comes, as was also the case when it museum opened in 1855.
