About the album

The invention of the cornet around 1828 was made possible by development of the valve for brass instruments. The cornet's ensuing popularity was partly due to the creation of many brass bands during the 19th century as a result of the newfound leisure time and increased wages of the lower classes. Consequently there also was a demand for music specifically composed for the instrument. The repertoire on this album is representative of the various musical styles which became popular for the cornet during the 19th century.
Die Erfindung des Kornetts um 1828 wurde durch die Entwicklung des Ventils für Blechblasinstrumente ermöglicht. Die anschließende Popularität des Kornetts war zum Teil darauf zurückzuführen, dass im 19. Jahrhundert infolge der neu gewonnenen Freizeit und der gestiegenen Löhne der unteren Schichten viele Blaskapellen gegründet wurden. Folglich gab es auch eine Nachfrage nach speziell für das Instrument komponierter Musik. Das Repertoire auf diesem Album ist repräsentativ für die verschiedenen Musikstile, die im 19. Jahrhundert für das Kornett populär wurden.

Frank Anepool (cornetto)

Frank Anepool began studying the cornet at the age of eight and shortly thereafter began playing in the brass band in his home town, Wormer. In this band he developed his playing skills and gained valuable experience as a soloist. His first lessons were with Ben Zaal and after high school he studied with Peter Masseurs at the Amsterdam Conservatory, where he received his Master’s degrees in both performance and pedagogy. Frank has always had an interest in historically informed performance practice and this led him to study Baroque trumpet with Susan Williams at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He has worked extensively with a number of renowned ensembles, such as the Combattimento Consort and Collegium Vocale Gent, and has made...

Frank has always had an interest in historically informed performance practice and this led him to study Baroque trumpet with Susan Williams at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He has worked extensively with a number of renowned ensembles, such as the Combattimento Consort and Collegium Vocale Gent, and has made numerous recordings. For many years he has performed with The Bach Orchestra of the Netherlands as both first trumpeter and as soloist. It was in this ensemble that he met Vaughan Schlepp and they have performed extensively together.

As a versatile trumpeter, Frank has also established himself as a performer of modern classical music and has played many world premières. He has performed with Combustion Chamber, is a member of the Clazz Ensemble, and as a freelance musician he performs and makes recordings with numerous orchestras and ensembles. He conducts both choirs and brass bands, and he has taught principle study Baroque trumpet at the Amsterdam Conservatory. In addition, he is a composer and as a singer and trumpeter has released an album of his own songs.

Frank plays on a Boosey & Hawkes Souvereign 920 medium-bore cornet which was built in the 1970s. The mouthpiece is a Guilbaut Couesnon No. 2 built in Paris in the 1880s.

Georges Bizet

Georges Bizet was a French composer of the romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire. During a brilliant student career at the Conservatoire de Paris, he was recognised as an outstanding pianist, though he chose not to capitalise on this skill and rarely performed in public. Returning to Paris after almost three years in Italy, he found that the main Parisian opera theatres preferred the established classical repertoire to the works of newcomers.

Georges Bizet was a French composer of the romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.
During a brilliant student career at the Conservatoire de Paris, he was recognised as an outstanding pianist, though he chose not to capitalise on this skill and rarely performed in public. Returning to Paris after almost three years in Italy, he found that the main Parisian opera theatres preferred the established classical repertoire to the works of newcomers. His keyboard and orchestral compositions were likewise largely ignored; as a result, his career stalled, and he earned his living mainly by arranging and transcribing the music of others. Restless for success, he began many theatrical projects during the 1860s, most of which were abandoned. Neither of his two operas that reached the stage in this time—Les pêcheurs de perles and La jolie fille de Perth—were immediately successful.
After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, during which Bizet served in the National Guard, he had little success with his one-act opera Djamileh, though an orchestral suite derived from his incidental music to Alphonse Daudet's play L'Arlésienne was instantly popular. The production of Bizet's final opera, Carmen, was delayed because of fears that its themes of betrayal and murder would offend audiences. After its premiere on 3 March 1875, Bizet was convinced that the work was a failure; he died of a heart attack three months later, unaware that it would prove a spectacular and enduring success.
