Mr Maxima, Tangueros én populair solo musician
When the dream comes true, am i still dreaming?
Morricone became Mr Western music, Carel became Mr Royal princess Maxima in the Netherlands when he played a passionate rendition of the sensitive ‘Adiós Nonino’ by Astor Piazzolla in De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. For the newly wed royal couple and their thousand guests, among whom were Nelson Mandela and Kofi Annan, and also at the same time live for more than 55 million people around the world, the passionate sounds of Carel’s bandonéon coaxed Máxima’s famous tears. Once Mr. Maxima, always? Most popular dutch bands like André Hazes, Blof, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Marco Borsato and many others used the Kraayenhof sound in their songs. Tango is his passion, but making music all over the world with musicians the dream.
Carel could take great pride in receiving a high cultural distinction from the Argentinean government in 2005 for all his work in the last 20 years as a worldwide ambassador of the Argentine tango! His Sexteto Canyengue is now one of most rewarded tango groups of the world. The best tangueros from Argentina shared their mystic of the tango and bandoneon. Feel and hear the friendship and passion between Carel and his tangomasters Piazolla, Pugliese, Alvarez, Bertellmann.
Solo in world famous orchestras
The unique sound of Carel catched the ear of many conductor, the CD Guardians Of the Clouds with Ennio Morricone and the tour with Kristjan Järvi in 2008 show that the dream has just begun. A CD recording with the famous Metropole Orkest and solo performances at the Rundfunk Sinfonie Orchestra (Berlin), Orchester Niederösterreich (Wenen) and a tour throug Australia are on the programme for the end of 2007 and 2008.
