About the album

Prachtige intieme liederen van Brahms
Op dit album brengen bas-bariton Robert Holl en pianist Rudolf Jansen de liederen van Brahms te gehore.

Johannes Brahms leefde van 1833 tot in 1897 en had een grote liefde voor volks– en amusementsmuziek. Hij werd in zijn tijd echter vooral gewaardeerd om zijn ingewikkelde kamermuziek en symfonieën en in deze genres werd hij dan ook gezien als de opvolger van Beethoven. Naast deze genres schreef Brahms ook vele koorwerken en liederen, waarvan er een aantal op deze opname worden vertolkt. Deze liederen van Brahms zijn bewust geschreven met de intentie om een intieme sfeer te creëren. Ze bevatten geen uitbundige hoogtepunten maar zijn grotendeels rustig en klein. Perfect voor het beluisteren ervan als je thuis bent en wilt ontspannen.

Robert Holl is bas-bariton en zingt met name opera, concerten en liederen. Hij is gespecialiseerd in het Duitse en Russische lied. Holl werkt regelmatig samen met onder andere het Koninklijk Concertgebouw orkest en treedt over de hele wereld op. Rudolf Jansen is pianist en organist en treedt zowel solo op als met andere artiesten. Robert Holl is één van die artiesten en samen maakten ze dit album met liederen van Brahms. Het zijn intieme en prachtige stukken die je meteen raken en doen lijken alsof de muziek speciaal voor jou is gemaakt. Het is genieten van een aantal meesterwerken.

In the summer of 1996 Robert Holl made his debut at the Bayreuther Festspielen, as Hans Sachs in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. He has worked with famous conductors, like Abbado, Barenboim, Bernstein, Chailly, Frühbeck de Burgos, Giulini, Haitink, Harnoncourt, Jochum, Karajan, Leinsdorf, Prêtre and Stein, as well as with almost all the great orchestras of Europe and the US. He was also active as a singer of lieder (the emphasis on German and Russian repertoire), with partners like Rudolf Jansen, Oleg Maisenberg and András Schiff.
Lieder nights often lead the musician to the great music centres of Europe, as well as Israel and the United States. Robert Holl is a regular guest at great international festivals in Europe. On the invitation of Svatoslav Richter he took part in the ‘Moskovian Winters’ and the festival of Tours several times.
He leads various masterclasses and has made numerous television and gramaphone recor- dings with famous conductors. Some of his own compositions (lieder and works for piano) have been recorded on CD. Robert Holl is the artistic leader of the Schubertiaden in the Netherlands and Austria, as well as of the ‘Week of Romantic Music’, which has been held at Grafenegg Castle every two years since 1986.
Because of great merit for the Austrian music life Robert Holl was awarded by the Austrian Gouvernment in October 1990 the honorary title of ‘Wiener Kammersänger’. In 1997 he became honorary member of the Company of Music Friends in Vienna.

Composer(s)

Johannes Brahms

Johannes Brahms was a German composer and pianist. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. His reputation and status as a composer is such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the 'Three Bs' of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.   Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, and voice and chorus. A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works. He worked with some of the leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends). Many of his works have become...

Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, and voice and chorus. A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works. He worked with some of the leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends). Many of his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire. Brahms, an uncompromising perfectionist, destroyed some of his works and left others unpublished.
Brahms has been considered, by his contemporaries and by later writers, as both a traditionalist and an innovator. His music is firmly rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters. While many contemporaries found his music too academic, his contribution and craftsmanship have been admired by subsequent figures as diverse as Arnold Schoenberg and Edward Elgar. The diligent, highly constructed nature of Brahms's works was a starting point and an inspiration for a generation of composers. Within his meticulous structures is embedded, however, a highly romantic nature.
