Product Description

Product Description

In 2008 Challenge Classics released a very popular, limited edition of The Original Recordings 1950-1960 of the legendary Dutch conductor Willem van Otterloo with The Hague Philharmonic. This eagerly anticipated new seven-CD set presents a broader perspective, and features four renowned orchestras with which he conducted and recorded, including the Royal Concertgebouw, the Vienna Symphony, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Hague Philharmonic. Willem Van Otterloo (1907-1978) was born in Winterswijk, Gelderland, in the Netherlands. While playing as a cellist in the Utrecht Stedelijk Orkest, he won a composition prize from the Concertgebouw Orchestra for his Suite No. 3, which he presented in his 1932 conducting debut. He held posts with the Utrecht Stedelijk Orkest, before being appointed chief conductor of the Residentie Orkest in The Hague (1949-1973). Challenge Classics have also issued a disc of Van Otterloo’s compositions, performed by the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra (CC 72180). Personnel: Willem van Otterloo (conductor), The Hague Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Vienna Symphony Orchestra & Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

5.0 out of 5 stars Otter-who? 6 May 2013
By Michael B. Richman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I stumbled upon this box set for an unbelieveable bargain price in the Marketplace a few months back, I was barely familair with conductor Willem Van Otterloo, having only previously heard him backing pianists Stefan Askenase and Clara Haskil in Concerto recordings (on The Complete 1950s Chopin Recordings [Box Set] and Clara Haskil: Philips Recordings, 1951-1960 [Box Set] respectively -- see my review of the latter). This delightful 7CD set restores a variety of old mono and stereo Philips recordings back to the catalog -- a box that could have easily been part of UNI's "Original Masters" series, but was instead rescued through a licensing agreement with Challenge Classics. There are some real gems here including solid performaces of Beethoven's 5th & 6th, Saint-Saens' "Organ," Franck's, Schubert's 5th and Bruckner's 7th Symphonies, Beethoven and Rachmaninov Piano Concertos (with soloist Cor de Groot), and a bunch of sparkling Overtures, Marches and other short orchestral works, mostly with The Hague Philharmonic, but also with Berlin, Vienna and even the Concertgebouw. Though in many ways the most exciting aspect of this collection for me as a huge Eduard Van Beinum fan is realizing Van Otterloo was to The Hague what Van Beinum was to Amsterdam, and together these two men were the pillars of Dutch classical music in the late 1950s. I'm really glad I took the "Challenge" to add this to my collection, and I'll now have years of listening enjoyment and comparative studies ahead of me.
