The 'other Johan' returns... The Third Symphony is my favourite Andriessen symphony. A marvellous piece. I prefer a historic performance, under Jean Fournet. You can find it here: https://youtu.be/d4jmwDh9eVo


As for Orthel, I still love that Second Symphony, a minor masterpiece, in my opinion. Scherzo No. 2 is just as good.
Good to see the return of the 'other' Johan  ;D
I thought that this thread might bring you out of hibernation  ;D
I see that the Orthel Symphony No.2 is on You Tube, so I will track it down there. Totally agree about Andriessen's 3rd Symphony and fortunately have both recordings of it (I like them both).

I've had Orthel's 'Evocazione' and 3rd Symphony on repeat listening - two great discoveries for me. I know that others have been enthusing over the 2nd Symphony (which I'm yet to hear) but I have been moved and impressed by the 3rd Symphony, especially the opening movement. I'm playing that Symphony again now.

The Third is a beautiful piece, so - enjoy!

Thanks Johan - I'm currently enjoying the 4th Symphony, which is rather like a piano concerto.
Every work on this CD (Evocazione, 3rd and 4th Symphony) has given me much pleasure and they make a great programme of works.

Yeah he Dutch and I agree the greatest. He is the Jimmy Hendrix of organ music with his psychedelic works and (must have) infuenced many composers to come.

Note that I dont know any other Dutch composers and Im Dutch

Super old comment but I liked this and agree  ;D

It seems clarify relationship between Johan and Bernard Wagenaar that was quite obscure

Lahav Shani conducted Pijper"'s second symphony twice - in Rotterdam and Berlin.


Edo de Waart performed a lot of Dutch composers. these adagios are Pijpers most lyrical, symphonic work.
