Marcel Poot
A young Belgian female pianist ...Stephanie Proot.

http://stephanieproot.com/


The first meeting between Stephanie Proot and sisters Claire and Aurore Dassesse took place in the fall of 2012, when they were invited by concert promoter Euterpe to interpret the Piano trio in d by Anton Arensky. The concert was a resounding success, after which the three ladies decided to continue the casual collaboration as a permanent ensemble. Bearing in mind their first joint achievement, Claire, Aurore and Stephanie baptized the chamber music group Ensembl'Arenski, a well-chosen name that equally allows them to perform in alternate combinations. As a piano trio, the three musicians take a fresh look at the larger repertoire, and at the same time, they introduce the public to less well-known works.



Looking for the perfect interplay, Ensembl'Arenski went within the walls of the Brussels Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel to study with the renowned Artemis Quartet. The group has already appeared in the program books of numerous national and international concert associations, including the Bijloke, Festival Musiq3, the Musical Instruments Museum and the Concertgebouw Brugge. Ensembl'Arenski was laureate of the 2017 Supernova competition, giving them a helping hand for a concert tour through Belgium and the publication of a first CD.

I also like Matthaeus Pipelare (c. 1450–c. 1515)

Edward Bunnett (organist and composer at Norwich in late 19th Century)

Heraclius Djabadari (Tbilissi 01 January 1891 — Nice 01 January 1937)

He wrote a fun/light/exotico-romantic pianoconcerto (1921) and has a great hairdo à la Einstein.

Why don't I have a name like that?  :(

Florestan

Carl Maria von Weber is great. So is Traugott Maximilian Eberwein.

Karlheinz Stockhausen sounds actually better than his music.  ;D

Oh, and I forgot to mention Francesco Ezechiele Ermenegildo Cavaliere di Suppé-Demelli.

I've always liked the name of Arthur Meulemans the Belgian composer of the poetic 'Pliny's Fountain'.

Also, how about the Welsh composer Alun Hoddinott?

Well, he is of course, also  a kind of "vandermeulen /vandermolen" a "molen" is a mill is a "meulen" in old Flemish/Dutch.

Just for fun: Messiaen mayonaise...


Brahmsian

5 pages and no mention yet of Antonín Dvořák?

Not only a cool sounding pronunciation, but visual appeal with the accents on the r and a.  My clear favourite composer name.

Now be prepared for this quite flamboyant name: Bo Linde!  :D  ;D

Now, seriously, these French names sound very sophisticated to my ears: Jean-Henri d'Anglebert and Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht (I don't know if they were named previously).

I have a recording of the Brahms sonatas for clarinet and piano with Jacques Lancelot and Annie D'Arco.
You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

How could I have forgotten Osbert Parsley?

Anton Urspruch!

Had it been Ursprache it'd have sounded truly awesome.  :D

Heraklius Djabadary is not bad either.

And now that I think of it, how could have I, as Florestan, forgot to nominate Stan Golestan? (Google and Youtube him...)
