That's a nice picture - the young composer communing with nature - I quite like it.
I know that I heard something by von Koch when I was a young listener back in the Seventies - the Dance Rhapsody or the Sinfonietta, maybe, from a 50s or 60s LP? I can't recall, but the Rutherford, NJ, Public Library near my home had a superb collection of LPs of works by lesser-celebrated Euro-composers issued on London and other labels. (They later de-accessioned all of them in a fit of stupidity as the CD era was starting. Librarians are supposed to know better than that!)
It's nice to see that von Koch lived to 98 and was still composing in his nineties. Interestingly, he wrote the scores for quite a number of Ingmar Bergman's early, lesser-known films such as It Rains on Our Love and Port of Call.
