Pianist Ramon van Engelenhoven has a special love for film music. That’s why his next CD won’t have canonic piano repertoire, but his own arrangements of what he considers ‘brilliant music that is seldom heard’ by Korngold, Bernard Herrmann and John Williams. We know this young pianist through his impressive list of prizes and memorable performances – including those at Wonderfeel – but Van Engelenhoven is determined to choose his own path: ‘We live in an age of specialism. But I personally think it’s better to be well-rounded and develop various things. That helps you grow as a musician.’
