For the first time in Herman van Veen's long career, he publishes a complete registration of a theater performance with this edition. The two-and-a-half-hour performance Kersvers, recorded in January 2015 in Carré, is available on a DVD or Blu-ray of your choice. For the first time Van Veen was on stage without his trusted pianist Erik van der Wurff. He passed away in September 2014. The thoroughbred
… musician sings his songs to his heart's content, plays the violin and now and then the piano, tells anecdotes and makes crazy dances. He is surrounded by guitarist Edith Leerkes and six talented young musicians: singing along violinists, guitarists, a clarinetist and drummer. Kersvers is a very strong program in which the death and transience of life are discussed in a friendly, humorous way. In between, some of Van Veen's so beloved classics sound like Ik Hou Van Jou, Zo Vrolijk and Suzanne. The atmospheric music is a rich mixture of cabaret, world music and pop. (SvdP)more
