This hybrid SACD features a group of 5 musicians from the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra who call themselves NedSym Lite. They perform arrangements of works from the less serious area of the classical and popular repertoire by composers including Vernon Duke, Fritz Kreisler, Sholem Secunda, Astor Piazzolla, Cole Porter, Johannes Brahms, Joseph Kosma, Rob van Bavel, Anne-Marie Chorinsky-Hardegg and the ensembles artistic director Tim Nobel. The set also includes versions of some traditional pieces. In 2011 the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra decided to branch out into styles of music considered less serious or heavy and formed this ensemble. The group consists of Robert Windak (first violin), Annemarie van Viegen (second violin), Eva Suslikova (viola), Don Hofstee (guitar) Tim Nobel (double bass, artistic director and arranger). NedSym Lite excels in incorporating a wide variety of musical styles including gypsy music and jazz, as well as arrangements of popular works by the great composers. (bron: Presto)
