Herman van Veen ist der absolute Inbegriff des Liedermachers. Bezaubernde, nachdenkliche, traurige, wahre und fantasievolle Geschichten erzählt der 56-jährige Musiker, Sänger, Songschreiber und Schauspieler aus Utrecht. Herman van Veen ist aber auch Poet und Clown -- und das macht aus jedem seiner Konzerte etwas Besonderes und ebenso aus jedem seiner Alben. Denn Herman van Veen singt nicht nur seine Lieder, er lebt und atmet sie. Was ich dir singen wollte handelt in erster Linie von der Liebe. Fazit: Ein Herman van Veen wie immer -- ein sensibler Poet, voller Menschlichkeit und Mitgefühl, eingebettet in ebenso einfühlsame, zarte aber durchaus auch lebensprühende Musik.

Because his father and mother, his brothers and sisters had been killed by a large expensive car, Alfred Jodocus Kwak lived with his stepfather Henk de Mol in a wooden house on the banks of the Snelle Vliet in the reeds of Groot Waterland. And if you sail past in a boat, you might hear Alfred Jodocus Kwak singing. "Splash, splash, nice and cool in the water, go home now, I'll be there in a drop." The musical fable of Alfred Jodocus Kwak (lyrics: Herman van Veen; music: Herman van Veen, Erik van der Wurff, Harry Sacksioni) was first performed by the Amsterdam Youth Theater in Carré on Sunday, August 29, 1976. Eleven years later, Herman van Veen sang and narrated the musical fable in various European cities, accompanied by the Groot Waterlands Symphony Orchestra conducted by Erik van der Wurff. The performance in the Elisabethzaal in Antwerp was recorded by Veronica television, directed by Geert Popma.
