Leon Orthel (1905-1985)

Otterloo, Willem van
Serenade for 12 brass, piano, harp and percussion
From the black year of 1944 is the Serenade. In the first, tidily written manuscript the piece is still called a divertimento, is in four movements and is scored for brass (four horns, four trumpets, three trombones and tuba), harp, celesta and percussion. In the second, 'definitive' version the title 'Divertimento' is replaced by 'Serenade' and a piano part is added.

Ockeghem!

This album is some of the most beautiful renaissance music for me:

Leon Orthel (1905-1985)

Orthel's 2nd and 3rd Symphonies are very fine works, and his output as a whole has been sadly neglected by the record companies. CPO has done such staunch work for the orchestral music of his countrymen Rontgen, Badings, H. Andriessen, van Gilse, and others, so Orthel would be the logical next step for them!
