Cornelis Dopper was born Feb. 17th 1870 in Stadskanaal; he died Sep. 18th 1939 in Amsterdam. He was a
composer, conductor and music teacher. He studied piano and violin at the Conservatoire of Leipzig (1888-1890)
. His most important teacher was Oscar Paul, who lectured on history of music (especially ancient Greek music) and
musical aesthetics.
Dopper returned to the Netherlands in 1891 and settled in Groningen. In 1892 he composed his first opera De blinde
van Castel Cuill� (The blind girl of Castle Cuill�) after a story by J. Jasmin (English translation: H.W. Longfellow) and
his First Symphony ‘Diana’ (1896), based on Heinrich Heine’s story Die G�tter im Exil.
In 1897 he went to Amsterdam, where he became a violinist and later a choir master and assistant conductor at the
Nederlandsche Opera (Dutch Opera Company), until this company dissolved in 1903. Dopper worked another season
at the Lyrisch Tooneel, where his fourth and last opera Het Eerekruis (The Cross of Honour, 1904) was performed.
Parts of his second opera, Frithjof (1895) were only performed in concert form. His third opera William Ratcliff (1900)
was performed in Weimar in 1909 under Peter Raabe. He wrote his First symphony ‘Diana’ in 1896 after Heine’s
Die G�ttin Diana. In 1904 he finished his Second Symphony (‘Scottish’ symphony).
During two seasons (1906/7 and 1907/8) Dopper became one of the conductors of the travelling Henry Savage Opera
Company in the United States. He also visited Canada and Mexico with this company and conducted the first
performances of Puccini’sMadama Butterfly.
In 1906 Willem Mengelberg performed Dopper’s Third symphony (‘Rembrandt’, rev. 1904) with the Amsterdam
Concertgebouw Orchestra and in 1908 Dopper was nominated as second conductor of this famous orchestra under
Mengelberg. He introduced not only Debussy’s La Mer and Ib�ria in Amsterdam, but also a lot of other new compositions
of composers of his time, i.e. Elgar, Ravel, and the music of many young Dutch composers. In his role of Mengelberg’s
assistent he practised for the first time works like Strawinsky’s Sacre du Printemps and Mahler’s Seventh Symphony
with the orchestra.
Dopper stayed with the Concertgebouw Orchestra for 23 years. During that time he composed his Fourth Symphony
(‘Sinfoni�tta’, rev. 1909), his Fifth Symphony (‘Sinfonia epica’, 1908) on a text of Homerus Ilias; a Sixth Symphony
(‘Amsterdamse’, 1912) and a Seventh Symphony (‘Zuiderzee’, 1917). In this last symphony he neatly combines
melodies from Valerius’ Gedenckclanck (1626). Only three of Dopper’s orchestral works (‘Zuiderzee’ Symphony,
Ciaconna gotica and Oud-Nederlandse Danssuite) have been published.
Besides four opera’s and seven symphonies, Dopper wrote a lot of vocal works: songs, choir music, a Requiem and
chamber music (Sextet, Klankstudie, String quartet ‘Pallas Athena’, Sonata for violin (or violoncello) and piano).
His complete works (more than one hundred) are preserved in the Nederlands Muziek Instituut (Dutch Musical Institute),
Royal Library, The Hague. Most of Dopper’s compositions are orchestral pieces, most of them performed by the
Concertgebouw Orchestra. Often played were his Concerto for violoncello and orchestra (1910) and Concerto for
orchestra, trumpet and timpany (1910). His most popular, world wide known orchestral composition is theCiaconna
gotica (1920). This work was performed in the famous concert halls throughout the world under outstanding
conductors.
Dopper introduced youth concerts in the Netherlands in 1923. As a composer he was not an innovator, but possessed
a great instinct for orchestral colouring. His interest in Ancient Greek music is apparant from works such as the
Sinfonia epica and the orchestral studies P��n I & II. But above all Dopper was a Dutch composer, as shown by
the titles of his symphonies.
The musical talents of Richard Hol, son of an Amsterdam milk merchant, were evident at an early age.
After lessons with organist J.M. Martens, in 1837 he came under the guidance of J.G. Bertelman in his music school.
Since 1844 he worked as a music teacher and accompanist of travelling virtuosi. His outstanding career as a
conductor started in 1854 with the choral society Polyphonia; from 1856 till 1871 he was in charge of the ‘Amstel'
Male Choir; in 1857 he succeeded J.B. van Bree as conductor of the Amsterdam department of the Society for
the Advancement of Music (Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Toonkunst).
In 1862 he resigned this function, probably because he felt his more conservative competitor Johannes Verhulst
had been unjustly favoured. In Utrecht he took charge of the Collegium Musicum Ultrajectinum. In the same
city he was appointed to the posts of organist of the ‘Dom' church (1870-1887) and director of the Music
School (1875-1887). Under his guidance, and especially after the opening of the new concert hall Tivoli,
Utrecht musical life flourished; concert programmes featured celebrities like Robert and Clara Schumann,
Carl Tausig, Johannes Brahms and Joseph Joachim.
Later Hol transferred part of his activities to The Hague, where in 1878 he took charge of the Caecilia male
choir. In 1883 he became guest conductor with the ‘Diligentia' Society, where Verhulst was principal conductor;
in 1887 he replaced Verhulst. Since 1888 he also conducted concerts of the orchestra of the Amsterdam
Paleis voor Volksvlijt (Palace of Industry).
Richard Hol, who was known as a sober, amiable person, was one of the most influential figures in Dutch
musical life of the 19th Century. He was a member of numerous boards and committees, and was first
president of the Dutch Musicians' Society NTV (Nederlandsche Toonkunstenaars-Vereeniging). He had many
contacts in Germany and introduced works by ‘neudeutsch' composers like Liszt and Wagner, but also by
Brahms and Dutch contemporaries. He has contributed articles to several music journals.
Very little of his large oeuvre has remained in the repertoire, which includes four symphonies, numerous
choral works, songs, and the opera Floris V. A few of his children's songs have become part of
popular culture.

"Although he has a solid reputation as a conductor of the standard repertory, Matthias Bamert is best
known for his work on behalf of new music, obscure 18th century music, and neglected music from all eras
(especially in a long series of recordings for Chandos). He is also known for his participation in provocative
classical music videos directed by Adrian Marthaler. Bamert studied music in his native Switzerland, as well as
in Darmstadt and Paris, falling in with the likes of Boulez and Stockhausen; these associations can be detected
in his own compositions from the 1970s. He spent from 1965 to 1969 as principal oboist with the Salzburg
Mozart Orchestra, but then switched to conducting. He assisted Stokowski at the American Symphony Orchestra
in 1970 and 1971, then joined the Cleveland Orchestra's conducting staff. He was music director of the Swiss
Radio Orchestra (1977-1983), then began making a wider reputation across Europe. He was principal guest
conductor of the Scottish National Orchestra from 1985 to 1990. Bamert served as artistic director of the
Lucerne Festival (1992-1998) (where he made inroads in thematic programming) and of the London Mozart
Players (1993-2000). In 2000, he became principal guest conductor of the New Zealand Symphony. Bamert is
known to be a quick study, able to master new scores in very little time, and bring off highly effective premieres
in concert and on CD. His most notable recordings include symphonies of Gossec, concert music by Korngold,
the orchestral works of Martin, and a series devoted to Stokowski arrangements."
