Jörgen Van Rijen - Video

With two very different CDs released in 2008 on Channel Classics (audio excerpts on this website), Jörgen van Rijen passionately advocates and demonstrates the validity of the trombone as a solo instrument.  Featuring studio footage from Amsterdam, our film includes baroque concerti with Combattimento Consort and an extraordinary work by Jacob Ter Veldhuis – “I was like WOW!” – inspired by a documentary film (“Purple Hearts” courtesy of VPRO Dutch Television, directed by Roel van Broekhoven) with US soldiers injured in the Iraq War.
