This website covers a period of one hundred years Dutch art of singing. With biographies, lists of recordings, CD's and photos of Dutch opera- and concert-singers. Music fragments and links to other sites that pay special attention to these subjects. Also in this continuous growing collection: biographies of the conductors of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and a number of my favourite singers from abroad. The main part on this site contains the period from before 1965, the year on which the 'Nederlandse Opera' ceased to exist as an ensemble opera. This site is established in 2001 with biographies of only 4 singers: the sopranos Jo Vincent, Elly Ameling and Gré Brouwenstijn and the contralto Aafje Heynis. Meanwhile the number of biographies is more than 200 and the number of visitors exceed the milestone of one million.
Also on this site some pages devoted to a few of my favourite 'singers from abroad': Richard Tauber, Joseph Schmidt, Feodor Chaliapine, Marian Anderson, Magda Olivero and Kathleen Ferrier.
With the founding of the new label DD Records an unique and extended collection of CD’s is released of Dutch singers of the past area. A collection that will be extended regular. Voices of singers, which before I started this site, where mainly unknown to me, but many of them belong now to my personal favourites.
