Product description

Léon Orthel (1905-1985) was a composer, concert pianist and educator. He studied in The Hague with Johan Wagenaar and in Berlin with Paul Juon and Paul Sachs.
 
In the thirties he was busy renewing his idiom, but he did not feel comfortable with atonality. He discovered his own style in his First Symphony (1936) and especially in his Second Symphony (1940). His vocal oeuvre consists merely of songs, with a strong preference for the poems of Rainer Maria Rilke. Music critics describe his style as a mixture of Ravel, Strawinsky and even Barber. As his colleague Otto Ketting, says, “his compositions are mostly expressive and at times romantic. From time to time they have an unexpected dark undertone, rather like the works of the American composer Samuel Barber”.
 
Orthels music was performed by great conductors such as Eduard Flipse, Jean Fournet, Anton Kersjes and Willem van Otterloo amongst others, and orchestras like Residentie Orkest and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Orthel was acknowledged with several awards during his life, in 1949 for his Third Symphony, in 1960 for his Second Symphony. In 1973 he received The Johan Wagenaar Award for his complete oeuvre.
