Whispers of the Wind, the Horseman's Gallop’ | Rembrandt Frerichs & New European Ensemble | live

Rembrandt Frerichs was featured as one of the focus composers for this year’s Dutch Composers Day. His brand new composition ’Whispers of the Wind, the Horseman's Gallop’ was commissioned by the New European Ensemble.

Rembrandt’s natural playing ground is all about creating on the spot. Both as a composer and a pianist, he takes a liberal approach to Jazz and classical music by introducing foreign influences. Besides being the leader of his successful Rembrandt Trio he is a talented composer. Western classical musicians and ensembles in search for progression embrace his new compositions, as well as the challenge of improvising. In ’Whispers of the Wind, the Horseman's Gallop’ Rembrandt improvises on some occasions.
Rembrandt Frerichs: ’When Mozart performed, he played Mozart, and he improvised. In that respect, I might be closer to the old composers than many contemporary classical musicians.’
