Symphony For The Old World (2000)

"It has always been a wish of ours to travel the world with a large orchestra of musicians from every corner of the earth, using all the strange instruments that were created in different places throughout history. An orchestra in which musicians from all points of the compass combine their knowledge and love for their own music with each other. This 2-hour theatre concert was a first step in this direction. It is divided in four parts, based on combinations of original and traditional themes from the North, West, East and South of Europe. It is performed by 9 musicians: the 5 members of Flairck are joined by a Scandinavian violinist, a Romanian cembalon player, a Flamenco guitarist and a Celtic piper, four soloists from the corners of Europe. Composed and arranged by Erik Visser and Ben van den Berg, based on original themes and traditional European music. Improvisations by Roelof Rosendal (The West), Marius Preda (The East), Mirella Pirskanen (The North) and Eric Vaarzon Morel (The South)." (bron: Flairck)
