Henk de Vlieger
Henk de Vlieger (born 1953 in Schiedam)[1] is a Dutch percussionist, composer and arranger.
Since 1984 he has been a permanent member of the
Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra
as percussionist. In May 2011 he was appointed artistic advisor to the orchestra.
Although as a creative artist de Vlieger has written a number of original compositions, he is more noted for his arrangements of works from the classic repertoire for orchestra or instrumental ensembles. These include a number of transcriptions of the works of
Meistersinger: an orchestral tribute (2005) and Parsifal: an orchestral quest (1993). Many of these have been recorded on the Chandos label by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi.[2]
De Vlieger's other works include an
Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings" by Johan de Meij (2000).[3]
