OPERA HOTEL DE PEKIN IN ZATERDAGMATINEE CONCERTGEBOUW AMSTERDAM 28 JANUARY 2012
SOME QUOTES FROM THE DUTCH PRESS:
PAROOL: "Willem Jeths mixes very interestingly Chinese sounds with the decadence of Richard Strauss' Elektra and Salome. The music is lyrical, grandiose and fascinating. Jeths has a personal beautiful soundpallet. He is a real theatrecomposer."
NRC-Handelsblad: "Jeths generates an overwhelming and appealing retro-style. With quotations from and associations of operas by Strauss, Pucicini and Stravinsky he combines western and colourful Chinese music. Everything is extreme, hyper-dramatic and monomaniac."
