Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Van Veen)
The best-known modern-classical work for keyboard instruments performed on just one grand piano by Jeroen van Veen. This music can change lives, as shown in the film Over Canto. Jeroen van Veen has already recorded this work on CD many times, but this work only really comes into its own when you experience live how this master pianist brings the Canto to life. Jeroen van Veen is famous for his touch and a great advocate of the music of Simeon ten Holt. This concert is also called more of a ritual than a concert; the music is strongly meditative and there is constant interaction with the audience.
As a good friend, he visited the composer continuously for years. The composer praised his interpretation and indicated several times that his version, with or without Sandra van Veen, was the best performances. One pianist, one grand piano and an ever-changing Canto Ostinato with Van Veen’s own composition Incanto 6 in the middle. A concert for young and old; sitting or lying down. In 2016, Jeroen van Veen received a unique prize; no fewer than 100,000 CDs and LPs of the Canto Ostinato had been sold; unique in classical music!
