‘Vijf eigenzinnige componisten’ (Five quirky composers) : program with music by George Gershwin, Leos Janáček, Federico Mompou, Francis Poulenc and Arnold Schönberg. The connection between these composers is the wilful way in which they developed their musical language. Most of the time a couple of bars of their music are sufficient to recognize the composer.
