Telemann My Way/Vivat Vivaldi
Chris Hinze
Jazz/Baroque [KYT 780]

A CD is the perfect form for a second release of favorite productions. So it was only logical to respond to the countless requests to present a compilation of the old baroque interpretations of Chris Hinze, which at the time were instant successes as they still are through their timeless interpretation.

What has been said about the Telemann/Vivaldi adaptations also counts when describing this compilation of the LP’s Sketches on Bach and Variations on Bach.But on top of that it is worth mentioning that these Baroque productions not only sold thousands of records and achieved ‘gold’, the Sketches on Bach also won the Edison Award of the Dutch Gramophone Industry.

Impressions
Chris Hinze
Jazz/Baroque [KYT 782]

To complete the re-release series of baroque interpretations Chris Hinze combined tracks from his LP Variations on Bach with works from his theater program ‘Impressions, Past and Present Music’. During this tour Chris Hinze together with Louis van Dijk, Jacques Schols, Jan Goudswaard and others, proved through improvisations and their own works that ‘old’ music can easily blend with more contemporary music. Truly good music remains timeless and precious.

Baroque By Candlelight
Chris Hinze, Sigi Schwab
Relaxation/Baroque adaptations [KYT 750]

‘Baroque by Candlelight’ is simultaneously swinging and romantic yet it is more than an ‘easy listening’ album. Teamed with the renowned German guitar player Sigi Schwab, Hinze plays Händel, Vivaldi, Quantz and Bach in modern arrangements that complement, rather than detract from the classic originals. Who better than Hinze, Edison Award winner for his earlier Baroque interpretations, could be trusted to make this a delightful journey from ‘past to present’.

Virgin Sacrifice
The Chris Hinze Combination
New Age/Relaxation [KYT 783]

Chris Hinze composed the music for the Teleac TV-series on archeology ‘Digging for the Past’, performed by his Combination with famous musicians like John Lee (bass), Gerry Brown (drums), Louis van Dijk (piano) and Roger Cooke (bass) as guest musicians.On request of a large number of viewers an album was compiled. Source of inspiration was one of the subjects of these programs: the mysterious death of ‘the girl from Windeby’, whose body was found after centuries of conservation in the swamps. A ritual offering? We will never know. Certain is that it inspired Chris Hinze to create this beautiful music.
