The collaboration with the Narratio Quartet in this monumental undertaking is a true joy. Johannes Leertouwer and Viola de Hoog are old and dear musician friends from over 30 years back, when we already made many recordings together. Albums with their Schönbrunn Ensemble and Anima Eterna Brugge, with all the Mozart piano concerto’s, his Flute Quartet and Schubert symphonies are amongst those.

We lost site a bit over the years, but re-uniting with them is a wonderful and inspiring experience. There was always talk of working together again, but now in the autumn of our lives we enjoy it to the full with the most amazing music ever written.

It is a challenge, the period instruments, the unbelievable complex repertoire and the amount of quartets is simply staggering. It asks all of our skill and talents to make it work optimally. The results are however as good as it gets and I am very proud of it and thank the Narratio Quartet for offering me their trust and friendship to artistically produce, engineer and release these treasures on The Spirit of Turtle.
