de Groot, Cor (1914-1993)

Description:

A Dutch pianist and composer, he worked to promote contemporary Dutch music and made many recordings. He achieved great international success as a pianist, but due to a neurological disorder in his right hand, he continued to perform repertoire for the left hand. He arranged more than 80 works for the left hand. The works in this collection were composed by composers who later became active in the Netherlands and who paid tribute to de Groot. The performances are by Folke Nauta and Jacob Bohaardt, who were friends of de Groot. A wide variety of works are presented, including solo and duet works.
