Composer-Frans Vester
Frans Vester (1922-1987) was a highly regarded teacher, editor, and scholar. He was also the founder and artistic leader of the Danzi Woodwind Quintet (1958-1970) and made significant contributions as a performer, particularly known for his expertise on historical flutes.
He studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory, enrolling at the young age of 15. Four years later, he showcased his talent by premiering the Ibert Concerto there. In 1958, the Danzi Quintet premiered Schoenberg Wind Quintet Op. 26.
Throughout his career, he embarked on tours and recordings of baroque repertoire alongside notable musicians including Frans Brueggen and Gustav Leonhardt. His contributions extended beyond performing, as he dedicated his expertise to editing numerous flute compositions from the 18th and 19th centuries. Additionally, Vester compiled valuable repertoire catalogues that served as essential resources for flute players.
