Title: MDMUSICS - more digital realisations on YouTube
Post by: Mark Thomas on Monday 03 November 2025, 10:23
Our members Darrel Hoffman, promusician, Reverie and tpaloj all have their own YouTube or Patreon channels (sometimes both), but of course we're lucky enough to have them posting regularly here about their newest realisations. There is a further interesting YouTube channel, not so far mentioned here on UC I believe, which features over 300 realisations, many of them orchestral works and mostly by Dutch composers: MDMUSICS (https://www.youtube.com/@mdmusics9410). There are unfamiliar works by relatively well-known (at least to us) composers, but some are the obscurest of the obscure. Nonetheless, they're well worth exploring on this enterprising channel, and the quality of the digitisations themselves is pretty good.

The person behind MDMusics is Marinus Degenkamp, a musicologist from the eastern Netherlands. I really appreciate that sofar he's resisted the attempt to go for the more famous composers such as Dopper or Röntgen, and has tried to show the broadness of Dutch musicianship by tackling works by more obscure composers - often ones that the composers themselves never heard.

He's done a great job of that. There's some really enjoyable music on his channel.
