Reviews Benkshaft

Amersfoortse Courant (1-3-1999) at the premiere of the Benkshaft-concertprogram:

(...) "This couple really distinguishes itself in its surprising choice of repertoire (...) The title song, Benkshaft, has never before been recorded. In his announcement Verheijen compares the rendition of Mariejan van Oort with a 78-turn record. This is a compliment, and what he says gets there! For this song is impressive, like a classical, cracking recording of Caruso still impresses more than Pavarotti in hifi (...) Noteworthy and imposing too is the poem "'s Tut vey!", written by Mordekhay Gebirtig during World War II in Cracow, and composed by Verheijen. It makes us look forwardto the CD-recording, which no doubt will appear in the future."
