- Het repertoire - vier eeuwen orgelmuziek.      Repertoire

  Klavecimbel naar Ruckers - 1630 - Gebouwd door Boudewijn Verhoef te Gorinchem


Nico’s repertoire contains over four hundred years of organ music. During the recitals you will
be able to hear not only music from the early Barocue, but also modern music. Nico’s CD
“Synesthesia”, recorded with the world famous Hinsz organ, contains such a wonderful collection.

Nico’s organ recital programme usually depends on the type of organ.
When the instrument is versatile, a concert can consist of works by for instance Buxtehude,
Bach, Mendelssohn, Franck, Widor or Andriessen. Sometimes, however, when the organ derives
from the 19th century, a theme can become the core of a recital: for instance organ pieces by
Cesar Franck, his pupils, his predecessors and his successors. Nico’s repertoire as a continuo
player on a continuo organ or harpsichord consists of big oratorical works, such as Handel’s
“Messiah”, Faure’s “Requiem”, Bach’s “Weihnachts Oratorium” and “Johannes Passion” and
Vivaldi’s “Gloria”.

Several professional orchestras, such as the Dordts Kamerorkest, the Randstedelijk Begelei-
dingsorkest and the Kamerorkest Continuo provided their cooperation for these concerts.
For there purposes Nico has two harpsichords at his disposal, one of which is built by the
Gorcum harpsichord builder
Boudewijn Verhoef. based on an original Flemish Ruckers model
dating from 1630.
