It is impossible to imagine the Dutch musical landscape without Canto Ostinato. This neoclassical masterwork by composer Simeon Ten Holt (1923-2012) ends up high in the top ten classical charts every year. The piece - affectionately called the Canto - is multicolored, it has many performances and just as many line-ups. Every performance is unique and more of a ritual than a concert, Ten Holt says. The minimalistic and repetitive patterns make the sense of time disappear and make way for space. Space for the performers, space for creation, but also space for the listeners, space for imagination. With this live recording, Eric Vloeimans (trumpet) and Aart Bergwerff (organ) add a new dimension to the kaleidoscope of Canto.
