Met Erfklank Air4Six visits a little-illuminated chapter of Belgian music history: the intimate a cappella music of composers from the late 19th and early 20th century. Work by, among others, Peter Benoit, Jef Van Hoof, August de Boeck, Arthur Meulemans, Edgar and cousin Jef Tinel swings back and forth between romantic intensity and technical refinement. Piece by piece, goosebumps-worthy songs testify to the unique talent of these composers to bend love for the mother tongue into universal emotions.
