Title: Haarklou - Piano Concerto in D minor Op.47 (Simulation)
Post by: promusician on Monday 19 May 2025, 14:14
Haarklou's piano concerto has been planned for a recording 10 years ago but stalled halfway. Since I've got the score from one of our UC members, I passed to Darrel to make a simulation. Overall, it's not music that pleases you immediately, reminds me of Brahms PC1, surely takes time to digest.. (Apologize it's not a score video yet!)
2nd and 3rd movements are still in progress..

I echo Alan's comment. Terrific music - very much my cup of tea. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing the other movements in due course.

We haven't talked about him for years - not many recordings of his music I think (mostly of vocal and organ works...), though someone uploaded his 4th symphony Op.113 (1920-22) at some point I see (I downloaded it but I'm not sure I've listened yet. Still, I'm intrigued by the scores I've skimmed.)
Thanks!!
