Prachtig, deze beelden! Ik wil u ook bedanken voor het plaatsen van deze video. Eindelijk eens wat beeldmateriaal van deze geweldige man!

[@skoebiedoe]

geweldig om te zien hoe betrokken hij was bij de film. helaas veel te vroeg overleden, de Jerry Goldsmith van de lage landen. zwaar bedant voor de upload!

Het is echt schandalig dat Soldaat van Oranje geen juiste blu ray/4K restauratie heeft gekregen. De film is amper te vinden. Dit is tevens het geval met titels als Turks Fruit en Keetje Tippel. De grootste NL films zijn verdwenen. Rob Houwer wordt wakker en gun de volgende generaties ook deze films!

[@TheErwinscully]

Helemaal mee eens! 👏🏻

[@MsRobTube]

Het is een grof schandaal dat de soundtrack van de film Soldaat van Oranje niét op cd te krijgen is, de mooiste muziek van één van de grootste componisten die Nederland heeft gekend (en dat zijn er niét veel...!) Het Nederlandse volk moet zich schamen.

[@ZAOUWV]

Helemaal mee eens!

Wat een geweldige componist, arrangeur !!! Mijn grootste inspiratiebron !!! Hartelijk dank, darkanivap voor deze unieke videobeelden. Rogier van Otterloo was van zeer zeldzame klasse !!!!!

[@ZAOUWV]

Jurgen Kuppens helemaal mee eens.. eenzame klasse

[@moow950]

Geniale man! Beste componist en arrangeur die Nederland ooit heeft gehad. Hij lijkt trouwens een beetje op een jonge Steve Jobs!

[@alessandro911]

Wat een mooi fragment!! Mijn held Rogier!

[@jens8014]

Prachtig mens. Jammer dat hij ons zo jong al moest verlaten.

[@Rick60905]

Prachtig hoe deze man sprak Dat hoor je tegenwoordig bijna nergens meer

[@RickBatelaan]

@Mazeppa6: Rogier indicates that the music score was not to be sentimental but still needed some degree of tragedy. The theme is heroic, with copper horns and all. The meaning of the music has to do with side effects, hunting, marching soldiers, clinging on to total elusiveness; that's heroism and sadness. It reveals what's in the action, yet is not said. The part he likes most is the score that accompanies the killing of Robbie (you hear the music from the album).

Prachtige terugblik!

[@gelsteraudi80]

Toppie! Prachtige filmbeelden. Heb er een klein stukje van gezien in het programma "vrije geluiden" dat in 2005 een uitzending aan hem wijdde.

[@Mazeppa6]

@batmail150 Hey! That was really kind of you to translate! Thanks so much and greetings from England and a fellow admirer of Mr.Van Oterloo!

[@genatzvalee]

Even though I can understand only 5% of what he's saying, I love the video, it's nice to see what Rogier was like, such a nice lively man! (Dutch sounds sexy! :)

[@MsRobTube]

Dutch men don't speak like that anymore, it's old school Dutch :)

[@genatzvalee]

@@MsRobTube I wonder what the difference is. Pronunciation patterns, vocabulary, intonation? Honestly I'd listen to Dutch spoken all day long! I love G sound, and also that there are 3 ways to pronounce R. By the way, I read about Rogier that he was actually quite demanding, difficult and standoffish, especially at work. Not as laidback as I imagined! And he also hated rock music!

[@MsRobTube]

@@genatzvalee Especially intonation and vocabulary. Rogier speaks with a slight 'posh' accent that very few people use anymore, it was spoken mainly in 'Holland' (the western provinces) and his vocabulary is very precise. The interviewer (a famous Dutch actor) speaks with a slight 'Amsterdams' accent, which is very popular nowadays, just like the influence from English words and pronunciation in Dutch today. I don't know about his temper(ament), he seemed like a nice guy, but he could very well have been quite demanding in his work... I think he was one of the greatest Dutch composers of all time (there haven't been that many :), the second theme he plays in the video ('Waalsdorpervlakte') is very beautiful, don't you think?

[@genatzvalee]

@@MsRobTube Thank you for breaking it down for me, it's so nice of you! I also think Rogier had a posh accent because that he was born into a highly cultured family, grew up listening to Mozart and stuff. I totally agree, the 2nd theme he plays here is amazing, intense and emotive. It's nice how he emphasizes different elements of his music and explains them (I could understand the word 'klok', thank goodness!) And that early video cassette player! Yep, I agree he's definitely one of the greatest, it's a shame his solo albums weren't successful. Everyone was obsessed with Pink Floyd at the time, and later got into disco and punk. While I do enjoy all these genres, I also think orchestral music like Rogier's deserved to be in the spotlight too. His "Strollin' around", "Heartbeat", "Two of a Kind" and "Flattened 10th" are among my all time favorites! If not for KZbin I don't know where I'd discover it all...

[@MsRobTube]

@@genatzvalee Yeah I think so too, his father must have been an example for him, he grew up with (all kinds of) music and musicians :) You're right, he mentions 'klok' and also 'fluiten' (flutes), it's the part he's playing with his right hand, it's a shame this theme isn't on youtube, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I know, even when it's just played on the piano (or maybe becáuse it's only the piano...), it was meant for some of the most dramatic moments in the film. I must say I like his filmmusic the most. He also worked with someone like the flutist Thijs van Leer of Focus (famous Dutch group in the seventies), but sóme of this other work I find a little too commercial. He also composed the music for the film 'Turks Fruit', do you know it? 'Dat mistige rooie beest... ' (difficult title to translate :) is also one of my favourites (with harmonica), very melancholic, beautiful!

[@paulwijdeveld5385]

Geweldig om hem live te zien, Peter Faber als interviewer?

[@yurisuring5337]

Klopt, viel mij ook op!

[@Gelre1542]

Jammer dat de diverse muziekstukken uit de film Soldaat van Oranje, zoals de Waalsdorpervlakte en Verraad voor een tientje, nergens op KZbin te vinden zijn.

[@MsRobTube]

Dat vind ik nou ook. En dat terwijl het zulke waanzinnig mooie muziek is, dat 'Waalsdorper Vlakte' is toch van een hemelse schoonheid...

Can anyone give me a rough indication of what Mr Otterloo is talking about here?
