“…Ariadne Daskalakis is not really challenged by the solo part of the concerto, so that she masters the interpretation effectively with superior playing. The Kölner Akademie, with Michael Alexander Willens, its artistic director, as an original sound ensemble, repeatedly offers such discoveries as the music of van Bree. In lively interpretations, they always succeed in highlighting the special aspects of a composer with pinpoint accuracy. The music of Johannes Bernadus van Bree also offers them the opportunity to rescue the pieces from oblivion with a fresh perspective.” ****
