Probably you know of this release https://www.amazon.co.uk/Andriessen-Orchestral-Works-Hendrik/dp/B0000260E5/ref=sr_1_11?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1499975086&sr=1-11&keywords=hendrik+andriessen
Alas some of the works on this CD double the cpo series but I can recommend the Miroir de Peine and the Fiat Domine, both expertly sung by Roberta Alexander, as very fine late late romantic orchestral 'songs'.

Great to see! I not only know it - actually, I saved a few copies for friends because it's already long OOP - but I lived literally next door when it was recorded in the Saint-Gertrude church (Geertekerk) in the old town of Utrecht, and I remember I saw the broadcast recording team with their 'recording van' parked in front of it for two evenings. Sweet memories.  :D

… music is not only an `entertainment’, nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.  RVW, 1948
