Credits

Pieter Wispelwey cello

Students from all over the world travel to Amsterdam during the Cello Biënnale, so that they can spend several days seeing, hearing and learning what would otherwise take them years to experience. A select few get the opportunity to receive lessons from the best pedagogues in the cello world. Each masterclass is an hour and 45 minutes long, divided between two students. They are accompanied on the piano by Noriko Yabe and Daniël Kramer.

Daniël Kramer

From a young age, Daniël Kramer received lesson from Ton Hartsuiker. He went on to study at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with Håkon Austbø, where he received his Master’s degree with distinction. He also received lessons from Rudolf Jansen, Willem Brons, Murray Perahia, and Claude Helffer, among others. He won prizes at the Prinses Christina Concours in 1994,  Concorso Seghizzi in 2008, and the Concours Olivier Messiaen in Paris in 2007.  His performances as a soloist include concerts with the Residentie Orchestra of The Hague, the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic conducted by Peter Eötvös, the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra conducted by Werner Herbers, and the Netherlands Youth Orchestra conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw. He has collaborated with various composers, such as George Benjamin, Louis Andriessen, Toshio Hosokawa, and Sofia Gubaidulina, and has premiered numerous contemporary works.  Daniël Kramer is the principal accompanist of the National Cello Competition and has given many concerts with laureates. He recently collaborated with Eline Hensels, the winner of the competition in 2018, to record a CD which was recently nominated for an Edison.

Pieter Wispelwey

Pieter Wispelwey began his cello studies with Dicky Boeke and went on to study at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with Anner Bijlsma, as well as in the United States with Paul Katz. In 1992, he was the first cellist to receive the Dutch Music Prize. Pieter Wispelwey feels at home on a modern cello just as much as on a Baroque cello. As a soloist, he performs all over the world with a remarkably broad range of repertoire. He has an impressive discography – he has recorded more than 30 CDs – which includes three recordings of Bach’s complete cello suites. In 2013, he released a CD with works by Schubert performed on authentic instruments, as well as a CD with Lalo’s cello concerto combined with Saint-Saëns’ rarely played second cello concerto. He currently teaches at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf. Pieter Wispelwey plays a Giovanni Battista Guadagnini made in 1760 and a Baroque cello made by Pieter Rombouts in 1710.

When she was twelve years old, she made her solo debut with the Madison Symphony Orchestra in the United States of America. After completing her studies at the Toho Gakuen High School and College of Music in Tokyo, she continued her education with Willem Brons at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where she graduated in 2003. She has given concerts in Japan, The Netherlands, Slovakia, het Czech Republic, and the United States of America. Noriko is currently an accompanist at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and she has been the accompanist at the International Holland Music Sessions’ Summer Academy (Bergen, NH) since 2004.
