Ruth Rouw - De Grote Markt (Victor Kioulaphides)

De Grote Markt (The Big Market) is a souvenir-piece from Groningen, a city in the north of The Netherlands. It was inspired by the view of the bustling outdoor market place of Groningen, on a rainy day during the weekend the composer Victor Kioulaphides visited The Netherlands. He had come especially to Groningen to be present at a concert given by the Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra The CONSORT conducted by Alex Timmerman to witness the premiere of his Concerto per Orchestra a Pizzico was performed.
The Big Market (© 2005) is a study for mandolin solo in changing meters and left-hand articulations. It is performed here by Ruth Rouw, one of the mandola players of The CONSORT, on an Embergher (Pecoraro) concert mandolin model N. 5bis.
