About
This disc presents the first collaboration between Roeland Hendrikx and Robert Groslot and is dedicated to the composer's most fruitful genre.
"As I have sought to elucidate, all of the concertos in my repertoire tell a unique story, driven by technical virtuosity and artistic vision. In the hands of Jan Michiels, who performs the piano concertos, and clarinettist Roeland Hendrikx - with whom I collaborate for the first time in this project, I find that these fundamental characteristics of my style come to life in the richest possible way." - Robert Groslot

Awards and reviews
October 2024
The Brussels Philharmonic is on top form throughout, and in both concertos Jan Michiels’s energ y and precision borders on the dazzling. It’s the 2019 Clarinet Concerto, though, that gives the soloist – the listener too – more breathing space. Roeland Hendrikx seemingly revels in the work ’s multiple shifting moods, from solo arabesques of liquid beauty to lazy ambling and the finale’s hectic rhythms.
