This Victor López work evokes images of excitement, bravery and sorrow as Erebus and Terror: The Lost Ships retells the story of the Sir John Franklin expedition in search of the Northwest Passage. Beginning with anticipation as the explorers depart their homeland, the rousing melodic theme is written for clarinet, horn and alto saxophone. The excitement of the journey turns melancholic for a few moments, as the gravity of their journey sinks in, but their courage is again renewed as the trumpets tell the story. A haunting flute and oboe duet foreshadows the inevitable crash portrayed with strong chromatic dissonances, into the ice and the loss of both ships and their crews. The journey has ended for these men, but their story lives on and Sir John Franklin is remembered as a hero due to his valuable contributions to the development of Canada’s north. Highly recommended!

The Intermezzo from the Romantic opera Notre Dame, based on Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame, is in fact Franz Schmidt’s best-known work. The charm of this lovely composition lies in its Hungarian and Romantic influences. Wil van der Beek’s sensitive arrangement does justice to this great work, putting Franz Schmidt’s masterpiece back in the spotlight once more!

Het Intermezzouit de romantische opera Notre Dame is waarschijnlijk wel het beroemdste werk van Franz Schmidt. Het is gebaseerd op Notre Dame de Paris (De klokkenluider van de Notre Dame), een roman van Victor Hugo. De herkomstvan de componist is goed te herleiden, want deze lieflijke compositie kent zowel romantische als ook Hongaarse invloeden. Wil van der Beek plaatst met zijn geslaagde bewerking deze Oostenrijks-Hongaarse componist weer even terugin de spotlights.

Das Intermezzo aus der romantischen Oper Notre Dame, die auf Victor Hugos Roman Notre Dame de Paris (Der Glöckner von Notre Dame) basiert, ist wohl das berühmteste Werk von Franz Schmidt. Der Reiz dieser lieblichen Komposition weist ganz eindeutig sowohl ungarische als auch romantische Einflüsse auf. Wil van der Beek holt diesen zu Unrecht etwas in Vergessenheit geratenen ungarisch-österreichischen Komponisten mit seiner gelungenen Bearbeitung wieder ins Rampenlicht zurück.

L’Intermezzo, de l’opéra romantique Notre-Dame, qui s’inspire du roman Notre-Dame de Paris de Victor Hugo, est sans doute l’oeuvre la plus prestigieuse de Franz Schmidt, compositeur austro-hongrois peu connu. Wil van der Beek a réalisé un magnifique arrangement de cette pièce quelque peu oubliée, tout en conservant l’expressivité et le romantisme de l’oeuvre originale.

L’Intermezzo dell’opera romantica Notre Dame, a sua volta ispirata dal romanzo Notre Dame de Paris di Victor Hugo, è senza dubbio l’opera più prestigiosa di Franz Schmidt, compositore austro-ungherese poco conosciuto. Wil van der Beek ha realizzato uno splendido arrangiamento di questo pezzo caduto nell’oblio, conservando l’espressivit e il romanticismo di questa melodiosa composizione.
