SCHRODER, JAAP (b 1925 )Jaap Schröder
Jaap Schröder has had a long and
varied career as a violinist. His lifes work is a tapestry woven of the threads
of all his achievements: chamber music, solo performances, conducting and teaching.
He has travelled widely, sharing his expertise in the interpretation and performance
of string music on authentic instruments from the baroque to the classical periods.
The overall objective of his teaching and performing continues to be the desire
to cherish and transmit the unique French tradition of violin playing, well
known for its emphasis on the art of bowing, lart de larchet, and on the cultivation
of a highly articulate expressivity. His own studies at the École Jacques Thibaud
and with the Pasquier brothers, together with musicological studies in Paris
and Amsterdam, have been of prime importance for his subsequent exploration
of the baroque and classical techniques of playing. Jaap Schröders achievements
include nearly 150 recordings for various labels. Jos van Immerseel, Stanley
Hoogland, Christopher Hogwood and Lambert Orkis are among those who have performed
with him. For many years he played in the Netherlands String Quartet, Esterhazy
Quartet and Smithson Quartet. He was also orchestra leader and conductor of
Concerto Amsterdam and the Academy of Ancient Music.
