Wurden by Hiske Oosterwijk
The authentic poetry of the 17th century writer Gysbert Japicx meets the fresh sounds of singer/composer Hiske Oosterwijk (1989).
What do these apparently so different Gysbert and Hiske have in common? A passion for the Frysk language, a flirt with Russia? A shared struggle with artistry? Listen to the 2CD Wurden and you may find out.
Hiske concluded her master jazz singing at the Prince Claus Conservatory (Netherlands) in 2019 by setting Japicx’ lyrics to new music.
She had been fascinated by the poet for years and by immersing herself in his life, he became a contemporary ‘brother in art’ with whom she could talk about language, authenticity, religion and so on.
