Louis Andriessen Quotes

«The sounds we made were actually quite serene and nice. We didn't click the frogs during performance, though, because we were all musicians and never would have done anything that would harm the music. It was more of a playful protest between pieces.»
«The idea is to have music that suggests people shouting at a political rally.»
«Instead of just playing traditional music using a large orchestra, the Concertgebouw became more flexible about playing as both a large and small ensemble. A smaller and more flexible group was a benefit both for Baroque music and contemporary Dutch music, which often had no use for a large traditional orchestra.»
