Song
You don’t need much to make something unforgettable: a voice, a piano, a good text, and music that actually means something. That’s it. No surprise then that some of the best composers chose this setup to write their most personal, powerful work.
Baritone Henk Neven and pianist Hans Eijsackers know this territory inside out. They’ve been performing as a lied-duo for over fifteen years—on major stages, in recording studios, and even for the BBC. No gimmicks, no shortcuts. Just two musicians fully committed to the song. They’re also the driving force behind the International Lied Festival Zeist: ten days of sharp, honest music-making, featuring world-class singers and pianists, razor-sharp masterclasses, and magical performances. Liking this playlist? Then the festival is definitely the place for you.
