About

The works on this CD were composed between 1957 and 1963. The First Symphony and the Due Canzoni were written at the same time and are important in Otto Ketting’s own career and in Dutch music as a whole: they were the first works by a Dutch composer in which the legacy of the Second Viennese School is explicitly expressed - the First Symphony often recalls Berg.
 
The rich and sometimes luxuriant orchestration is also striking and this symphony is rightly seen as a highlight of Dutch orchestral literature. Ketting’s compositions are characterized by a playfulness, seriousness and humour that are mutually inclusive rather than exclusive.
