No day without Bach

"Not a day goes by without Bach." It could also be the motto of former Dom organist Jan Jansen. Bach is still one of the favourite composers. That is why he and his sons Maarten and David Jansen play two top works from Bach's chamber music. Of these, the Concert in C BWV 1061 is exceptional. Nowadays the work is mainly known in Bach's later version for two harpsichords and orchestra; but in the Edesche Concert Hall the primeval version sounds for only two keyboard instruments that compete with each other. In the two sonatas for cello by Bach and Vivaldi, Maarten Jansen (cello) joins the two keyboard players.


Debussy's Cello Sonata

Debussy's Cello Sonata, which sounds after the break, seems an outsider in this lineup, but nothing could be further from the truth. In this piece Debussy harks back to Baroque music: the French Baroque of Couperin and Rameau. But Debussy wouldn't be Debussy if he didn't give it his own twist. The same goes for Mozart's Fantasy KV 608. Although originally composed for slot machines with organ pipes in a mechanical timepiece, Jan and David Jansen show on the Ypma organ that this piece is actually fantastic organ music.

Organist Jan Jansen

They exist, outspoken families of musicians: the Bach family, the Mozart family. In the Netherlands the most famous music family is undoubtedly the family of former Dom organist Jan Jansen. Daughter Janine conquers the world as a violinist. In the Edesche Concert Hall Jan Jansen plays together with his talented sons David (organ and harpsichord) and Maarten (cello). Come and listen to this famous music family, which has more than earned its spurs.


In the Jansen family, music was literally given the go-ahead
Father Jan Jansen about his children: "Yes, I saw from the beginning that the musicality was in all three of them. We sang a lot, after dinner we always sang a few songs.
