Praetorius Ensemble

2001
This CD features The Water-Call, for sextet of recorders with harp (or two guitars), the watery part of a set of four pieces on the theme of ‘the elements’ that the Praetorius Ensemble commissioned from Paul Leenhouts, Matthias Maute, Wilfred Reneman and myself.
This CD was recorded early 1999, to celebrate the 35th (!) birthday of the Praetorius Ensemble. It also contains arrangements of the “Water Music” and “Music for the Royal Fireworks” of Georg Friedrich Händel.
To be ordered from the ensemble itself

Stiftung Lyra, Zürich
2001
A breathtaking recording of the Little Swiss Fantasy by Yang Yi (China), Rosanne Philippens (Holland), Catharina Chen (Norway) and Jeroen van der Wel (Holland), together with several hobby-horses from the string repertoire - like the Saint-Saens Horrible Havanaise, but also very nice Grieg (sonata in c minor) and Dohnányi (Serenade op.10).

Pieces with ‘popular’ music influences – that makes Bye bye, Blues (C-U, Jesus) fit in nicely - in spite of its religious tendency.

1997
Virtuoso recorder music throughout the centuries by Festa, De Boismortier, Vivaldi and several others, as well as my little Kadanza, that they describe as follows:
“Aus dem spielerischen Impetus einer deutlich anwachsenden Lobby für Blockflötenmusik zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts schöpft Nieuwkerks Triostück Kadanza seine Energien. Ganz unorthodox paaren sich da Assoziationen an das Genre der Filmmusik mit minimalistischen Motiven und perkussiven Rhythmuspatterns zu einem Musterbeispiel populärer neuer Musik für Blockflötenensemble.”
