  • Arielle Vernède

    A recital by Dutch pianist Arielle Vernède is often experienced by the audience as a narrative with a clearly implied message. She unravels the musical form, the place and the period in which a piece of music is embedded. In the planning of her programs she searches for a well thought out combination of well known and, often unjustly, lesser known repertoire.

    When playing the piano her virtuosity and an extremely colorful palette are the building blocks for playing the piano in a way that captivates the listener throughout the performance.

    Arielle Vernède belongs to the top of the Dutch pianists.

  • Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato

    This interpretation of Canto focuses on a very feminine "Ostinato": understated but bold, sensitive and playful, almost confidential but very intense and also with tenderness. Sometimes it feels like you're listening with the pianist to an emerging Canto in yourself; as if you are at the origin of creating the music. Arielle Vernède knows, like in nature, how to intertwine the numerous aspects of color, light and movements in her play. So every moment of her Canto Ostinato becomes a creation that grabs your full attention until the last note. Colette Noël, wife of Simeon ten Holt Bergen, Netherlands

    "Arielle Vernède's technical mastery is such that she can express these delectable pieces with much lyricism and refinement. Her performance is delicate, clear and utterly musical. With these interpretations she transports the listener directly to a sultry Andalucia"
