In March, programme maker Kees Koudstaal will be featuring more new Early Music releases in his programme Sound the Trumpet, Strike the Viol!
He explains: Since 2016 I have been producing a new episode of the programme Sound the Trumpet, Strike the Viol every two weeks! I am the owner of an independent internet CD store that is specialised in Early Music and I am therefore often one of the first to hear about interesting new releases. I get a kick out of presenting these new releases on the Concertzender. The reactions to my programmes show that they are also appreciated by listeners. This provides the stimulus to spend a whole day each fortnight sharing my latest discoveries with the listeners of the Concertzender.
The first episode in March (which was broadcast on Sunday 3 March) included music from Wacław z Szamotuł, Antonio Ripa and Thomas Haigh. A search of the Concertzender website suggests that these were composers who had not previously been broadcast.
On Sunday 17 March there will be music from more well-known composers including Heinrich Schütz, Johann Sebastian Bach and Luigi Boccherini. The knowledge that I can continue to surprise listeners with such music is my motivation to continue to produce and present Sound the Trumpet, Strike the Viol!
