ROBERT HOLL, BASS
After completing his studies with Jan Veth and David
Hollestelle in Rotterdam, Robert Holl won the first prize at
the International Vocalists’ Contest in Den Bosch in 1971.
Furthermore, he studied with Hans Hotter in Munich,
where he won the first prize at the international ARD Contest
in 1972. Since then, he has built up an impressive
career as a concert, opera and Lieder singer. His preference
lies with the German Lied repertoire. He is considered
one of the greatest Lieder singers of his generation,
shedding light on new aspects of the art. Robert Holl has
worked with eminent orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw
Orchestra, the Wiener Philharmoniker and the Berliner Philharmoniker,
working with such conductors as Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Chailly,
Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Herbert von Karajan and Kurt Masur. Robert Holl
received the honorary title of Kammersänger from the city of Vienna in 1990.
He regularly takes part in the Wiener Festwochen and the Salzburger Festspiele.
In 1997, Robert Holl was awarded the Elly Ameling-Ring for his outstanding
artistry. In that same year he became a Professor solo singing and
music-dramatic expression at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende
Kunst in Vienna.
RUDOLF JANSEN, PIANO
Rudolf Jansen was born in Arnhem (the Netherlands). He
studied piano, organ and harpsichord simultaneously at
the Amsterdams Conservatorium with Nelly Wagenaar, his
father Simon C. Jansen and Gustav Leonhardt. In 1964 he
won the Prix d’Excellence for organ, in 1966 the Prix for
piano. He later graduated as an accompanist with Felix de
Nobel. In 1965 he won the Toonkunst Jubileumprijs and in
1966 the Friends of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw
awarded him with the Zilveren Vriendenkrans. In addition
to his solo career Rudolf Jansen has concentrated more
and more on Lied-accompaniment and chamber music.
Concert tours took him all over the world to the main halls
of prominent cities and the famous Music-Festivals, together with artists of
great reputation: Elly Ameling, Robert Holl, Andreas Schmidt, Olaf Bär, Christiane
Oelze, Barbara Bonney, Hans-Peter Blochwitz, Monica Groop, Tom
Krause, Edith Wiens, Birgit Finnilä, Irina Arkhipova, Brigitte Fassbänder and
Jean-Pierre Rampal. Rudolf Jansen regularly gives master classes for
singers and accompanists in, among others, the Netherlands, Austria, Great
Britain, Germany, Russia, Danmark, Italy, the United States, Canada and
Japan. In November 1996 he was invited by the Juilliard School of Music to
give a master class in New York.
ELLY AMELING, SOPRANO
Elly Ameling is beloved and admired throughout the world
for ther splendid and expressive voice and her compelling
artistry. Her 1995/96 farewell tour marked a milestone in a
remarkable artistic career. After her professional début as
a concert singer in Rotterdam in 1953, she performed for
more than 40 years in virtually every major culture centre
in the world. Her frequent appearances with the leading
international orchestras (Haitink, Britten, Ozawa, Sawallisch
among her conductors) have established her as one
of the greatest singers of our age. She has regularly sung at the Aix-en-
Provence, Edinburgh, Aldeburgh, Bergen and Tanglewood Festivals, to mention
only a few. She has sung in opera, notably Mozart, but Art song is her
speciality. In her recitals she showed to future generations the brilliant values
of German Lied and French mélodie. This dedication to a highly individual art
form has resulted in the production of countless LPs and CDs, many of which
are regularly being re-issued. Elly Ameling is in great demand throughout the
world for her masterclasses for singers and their pianists, during which they
benefit from her knowledge and the wealth of her practical insight. Dr. Ameling
has been awarded four honorary degrees and has been knighted by Her
Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands for her services to music.
MASTER CLASSES:
WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25-28
The afternoon sessions will be held from 14.00 till 17.15 hrs, followed by a
dinner break. The evening session starts at 19.00 hrs and will last until
approximately 22.15 hrs. Programme and scheduling will be at the discretion
of the faculty, and will be based on repertoire submitted by the students.
CLOSING CONCERT BY DUOS AND FACULTY:
SUNDAY, MARCH 1 at 20.15 hrs.
Duos will perform during the first half of the closing concert; Robert Holl and
Rudolf Jansen will perform after the intermission. Following the concert,
there will be a reception in the adjoining foyer.
TROS Radio will record the master classes and the closing concert for broadcasting
on Dutch Radio 4 at a later date. Participants in the closing concert
will not be paid for their contribution to either the concert or the recording.
Beurs van Berlage, Amvest Zaal, Damrak 243, Amsterdam.
The Beurs van Berlage has justifiably been called the Netherlands’ most
important twentieth-century architectural monument. The Amvest Zaal is a
freestanding, glass-encased hall within the exhibition hall.
You can reach the Beurs van Berlage by public transport. From Amsterdam’s
Central Station, take the exit marked ‘Centrum’ and cross the square towards
the Dam. Continue and you will find yourself on the Damrak, where you will
see tour boat docks on your left. The Beurs van Berlage is on the left immediately
past these docks.
A minimum of 18 Schubert songs, 10 of which may be chosen from the
cycles, should be sung from memory. We request that participants introduce
an equal number of less well-known Lieder into their repertoire to round out
their total selection. The age limit for vocalists is 32. Singers must bring their
own accompanist. The duos should have several years of stage experience
and have a good knowledge of English and German. Since the teachers may
wish to peruse the scores you are using, it is advisable that you bring photocopies
to the master classes.
Selection will take place on the basis of a CD recording, to be submitted
before January 15. It should contain at least 3 Schubert Lieder, recorded
within the past 6 months. The recording should be mailed to the Schubert
Stichting: Mr. Vincent Verheijen, Graaf Florisstraat 11-3, 1091 TD Amsterdam,
The Netherlands.The recordings will not be returned. All finalists will be
announced on January 31. Robert Holl and Rudolf Jansen, whose decision
is final, will make the selection.
Please remember to send portrait photographs by e-mail, suitable for
publication, of both the singer and the pianist. Please ensure that these
photographs are not subject to any rights.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the arrival of all required documents.
It is advised that applicants notify the Schubert Foundation if they
have not received confirmation within a reasonable time.
Your repertoire selection, relevant biographical information of musical training,
instructors, master classes, competitions, diplomas, distinctions, recent
concerts or performances, and CDs released, must be supplied to us through
our homepage (www.schubert.nl).
Upon request, the Schubert Foundation will make an effort to billet you with
a host family (with piano) during the time of your stay for the master classes
and the closing concert. Please indicate on the registration form whether you
wish to make use of this option. Participants who prefer to stay at a hotel
should make their own arrangements. The Schubert Foundation will make a
list of hotels available upon request.
Participation is free of charge.
