Did you watch the broadcast from the link I posted.
Dutch TV AVRO did a very good job.


Yes, AVRO usually does a more than decent job.

Anyone recognise the location?


The Dom in Utrecht?

Haven't been there more than once - I am spoiled by being within walking
distance from Amsterdam Concertgebouw...

Lucky you:-)

I have worked on several recording projects in Holland
with orchestral players from Hilversum. We recorded at
a very fine church near Lunen.

Baroque and Roll you mean?


Ah - the other Woodstock. ;-)

Can't really think of an odder place to have the headquarters of a band.
It doesn't even have a railway station. And property prices are sky high.


Woodstock's proximity to Oxford makes it a very
good location. The EUBO is not a "band"

Quite. Can you imagine BMW - who own the Mini factory in the UK -
having to apply for a visa to send over an engineer to trouble shoot
something that crops up? Likewise with any such European organisation
that have a presence here.


Won't be a problem once Mini production moves to the EU, of course.

And some doubts from Nissan too - despite the 'secret' guarantees.

Well did they say why?
I'd not have thought this kind of thing would be affected much by brexit or
anything else. Sounds more like somebody made tyhem an offer.
Nothing then to stop some enterprising UK person with deep pockets from
starting up a rival.

It has recently been announced that the EUBO
(The European Union Baroque Orchestra) will
relocate from Woodstock, Oxfordshire UK
to Amsterdam. That's sad.

The British do not have the strong symphonic
tradition of some other Western countries,
but we *do* have some of the world's finest
baroque composers: Thomas Arne, Henry Purcel,
Orlando Gibbons, William Byrd, and of course
Handel, who became a British national by act of
parliament, at the wish of George 1st in 1727.

The fact that Europe's finest, youngest baroque
orchestra has made its home in the UK for the
past 30 years has contributed enormously in
bringing our musical heritage to a wider
British audience.

After the orchestra relocates, British players
will no longer be eligible for membership
nor British students for participation in the
training which bridges the important gap
between the conservatory of music and
the world of the professional musician.

It looks as if, in this particular game of musical
chairs,when the next chair is taken away it will
be the British musician who is left without a seat.

That's very sad.

Yes we still belong to Eurovision and the EBU as we did before the EU.

I have worked on several recording projects in Holland
with orchestral players from Hilversum. We recorded at
a very fine church near Lunen.


Lunen probably had less of an issue with background noise
compared to Amsterdam...

Listen to some of Hogwood's recordings made here in Hampstead (London)
at St-Judes-under-the-flightpath.

OK, *that* I can imagine being recorded in Amsterdam or Den Haag!

I don't as I'm not a public service broadcasting organization.

I wonder why the Beeb or Channel 4 is ignoring this.
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-r...ere-to-be-seen

They could invite the Tallis Scholars, The Sixteen, or any number of choirs
to do a quick motet. Wouldn't need any preparation.
Or maybe the BBC thinks they are too English, male, and white.
(Can the Black Dyke Band sing?)
