Publisher Vic van de Reijt works for publishing company Nijgh en Van Ditmar, and has several literary publication on his name. He is also a collector of music, and writes about it. When I bought this record I already knew him from two collections of CD’s about Dutch music, a collection of Dutch covers for instance.
The interesting thing about compilations like these is that they’re more personal. The earlier compilation about the French chansons I wrote about are more likely to stay within established repertoire. Van de Reijt chooses the other titles, and adds little descriptions to them about why he did. Liner notes for every song.
