Ekseption was a Dutch rock band active from 1967 to 1989, playing mostly-instrumental progressive rock and classical rock. The central character in the changing roster, and the only band member present on every album, was conservatory-trained trumpeter Rein van den Broek (10 September 1945 – 11 May 2015). The band knew some commercial success in the 1970s, having Dutch top ten hit singles with their adaptations of Beethoven’s “Fifth” and Bach’s (Celebrated) “Air.” The second album, “Beggar Julia’s time trip” (1969), won the Dutch Edison Award for album of the year, and the first five albums all went gold.

  1. The father of the guy at the drums is hair stylist. 😎
    Great music though, they seem to know what they are doing at those instruments.

  2. Esse tipo de prática deveria ter sido incentivada ao longo das décadas, pois assim não haveria esse abismo entre a música clássica e a popular que existe hoje.

  3. I love how every member of the band looks like they are playing a gunpoint in a hostage situation. Except for the drummer, he looks like the sociopath that trapped them in his basement to play songs.

  4. Vielleicht die beste Art klassische Musik rüberzubringen. 😀😀😀

  5. great video of an actual live performance! .. and not a playback with the studio recording like in many other shows 😉 (which are still great to see of course)

  6. VERY VERY WELL…………………………………………………………………………………………

  7. Aquí si, efectivamente, el motivo inicial vuelve a aparecer casi al final ..en una fuga normal, el tema original varía y se transforma en algo distinto
