In Memoriam Wolter Willemsen
Our 401DutchOperas house pianist, the brilliant Wolter Willemsen, has died completely unexpectedly in his house on June 18. On behalf of our team, in particular also our vocal ensemble consisting of Barbara Schilstra, Hendrik Vonk, Lilian van de Zande and since recently also Hans de Vries, we wish his friends and family strength. Wolter was exceptionally gifted, he could take you to realms of sound in Dutch music that you had never believed possible. We had planned a studio recording of all the music we had been working on for the past two years: operas by Von Brucken Fock, Jan van Gilse, Jan Brandts Buys and some others. That we have to cancel this recording is a true blow to those wodnerful Dutch composers. Dear Wolter, wherever you are on the journey to the big unknown, we do not wish you a quiet journey at all, we wish you a lot of music and a Bösendörfer!
Anny Delorie - discografie
Translation by Google: Anny Delorie has over 20 years during her opera career at hundreds of productions worked. Recordings have been rare. At present - here and there - still available complete a Trovatore in 1953, together with such Gre Brouwenstijn and Johan van der Zalm Osteria on the label, OS-1001, a joy to listen. A Dutch version with only one level practitioners and to be proud of. This initiative of Osteria is worth following, a following which is sadly undelivered. Commercially understandable. There is also a complete Jenufa (Janacek) of the label operadepot.com, OD 10287-2. An implementation of the Dutch Opera in 1960, including Gre Brouwenstijn and Jaroslav Kachel. An image is particularly interesting interpretation of the Anny Delorie the role of the sacristan. Sacristan The murders in the opera from an extramarital relationship given birth to babies of Jenufa to the outside world to conceal. During one of the performances Anny played the role of the sacristan so convincing that a "moo" cries of the audience had its share. It was like she told me, are extremely proud. The material used for the production of the following three CDs come mainly from the private archives of Anny Delorie. |
