Interview with Paul Van Nevel on Musiq3 (RTBF)

Paul Van Nevel reflects on his life in music with Nicolas Blanmont in an interview on Musiq3 (RTBF).

From old notes to new blossoms
Paul Van Nevel on his succession and the Huelgas compass

After a career spanning over 55 years, Paul Van Nevel finds himself at a turning point. Over the coming years, German tenor Achim Schulz will gradually take on a larger role within the Huelgas Ensemble. During Laus Polyphoniae, Van Nevel and Schulz will each have their moment: one ensemble, two concerts, two visions. A unique opportunity to witness how a lifetime’s work is slowly passed on, and how early music remains alive in new hands. Julie Hendrickx in conversation with Paul Van Nevel.
