Not My Victrola

Sunday is a good day for cultured posts, so here is another very nice selection from our friend Rolf.



Notes from Otterhouse: "This is a record by the Delft pianist Gert-Jan Koolen. No biographical info except what is readable on the sleeve. Pupil of theo van der Pas (known from the Willem Mengelberg live recordings) This version of Handel's harmonious blacksmith was recorded 1965."

Mr. den Otter has recently spoken to the the artist, and he is still living in the Netherlands! That is very good news.
