Bert Appermont is known for the virtuosity of his instrumentation technique and the composition of splendid themes. Many of his works are based on legends, myths or historic events, which gives his music a very special élan. His works are already performed in over 20 countries, and nearly all of his compositions have been recorded on CDs by well-known orchestras in such countries as Japan, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Belgium.
