"Het Puik van zoete kelen", ( "The Cream of glorious voices" ), one hundred year of Dutch Art of Singing.
Philips Dutch Masters 464 385-2.

This is a 10 cd set, collected by Hans Kerkhoff who presented in the years from 1955 until 1981 about 1200 broadcasts with the title: 'Het Puik van zoete kelen'. I pay so much attention to this set because I believe it's one of the most important sets of recordings concerning 'Dutch art of singing' released this days. The first 5 cd's describe the period 1905-1940, the other 5 the period there after.The recordings after World War II came mainly mainly out of VARA archives.(A Dutch broadcast company). The oldest recording: CD3, no.15 by the tenor Chris de Vos is from 1905. An aria from MASSENET'S opera: 'Hérodiade' 'Aime-moi donc alors', the last recording at CD8, no.13 from 1996: Geert Smits, baritone, Henk Poort, baritone, Cora Canne Meijer, mezzo soprano in an aria from GIORDANO'S opera 'Andrea Chénier'. The repertoire: 50% is opera, 20% oratorio/concert, 20% lieder/songs and 10% remaining. The oldest vocalist is the baritone Jos Orelio, born 1854 (not in the prime of his career) and the youngest one is baritone Geert Smits, born 1965. You will find recordings of well known singers as Julia Culp, Maartje Offers, Jacques Urlus, Gré Brouwenstijn and Elly Ameling, but also names as Aaltje Noordewier-Reddingius, To van der Sluys, Michel Gobets, John Bröcheler and many others - all worth while to listen to. You will probably miss some names - for instance the famous baritone Anton van Rooy or the soprano Elisabeth Ohms - they will in the future get attention from me as well as many others. Depending to the quality of the sound samples, due to compression techniques I have to use, they sound better on the original cd's.
