are there recordings of wim mertens pieces by the BRT philharmonic besides the stringsed up version of "close cover" on _the rough with the smooth_? while i like the piano version(s), they don't compare to big orchestra feeling which is really what his style of minimalism needs.

i only know a few of his records, but i've listened to a bunch in record stores and not found any that utilize a full orchestra. are there any?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that the BRT is now called VRT and that that orchestra is now called the VRO (Vlaams Radio Orkest, flemish radio orchestra) - they played a number of Mertens pieces in Ostend last weekend ("Harry Potter meets Wim Mertens," a film music special)
