Life

Origin and education

Louis van de Sande trained as a painter. His voice was discovered in a male choir in Tilburg; his teachers in Holland were u. a. Henri van Groenendael, Hubert Verschuuren and Gerard Schellekens, the conductor, organist and choirmaster at the church “To the Sacred Heart” in Tilburg. From 1912 at the Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin he was a. a. trained by Anton Sistermans. He was friends with the pianist Kees Heerkens, who also came from Tilburg and studied music in Berlin; on his recommendation Van de Sande came to the opera in Berlin.

Career as a singer

In 1913, Louis van de Sande made his baritone debut at the Berlin Court Opera in Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin . In Holland he made his opera singing debut in Amsterdam that same year , where he appeared as a Nazaren in Richard Straussen's opera Salome . In 1914 he was appointed to the court opera in Berlin. Here he received a five-year contract and had great success as a Wagner singer.

Louis van de Sande has made guest appearances on German and Dutch stages. In 1913 he sang the Wanderer in Siegfried in Danzig . In Holland he sang Hans Folz in Meistersinger in 1914 , Hunding in “ Die Walküre ” in October 1920 , and Fasolt in Das Rheingold in 1921 . In 1917 he sang Titurel in Wagner's Parsifal at the Berlin Court Opera in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The latter was so impressed by his performance that he gave him a gold tie pin as a souvenir, which was set with diamonds in the shape of a "W".

In the twenties he made an impressive career as a singer in opera performances on the Berlin radio, which his friend and singer and radio pioneer Cornelis Bronsgeest had brought to life; In 1924 he toured Holland with a 'traveling opera' directed by Bronsgeest, where he also appeared on many other occasions as a concert and opera singer and as an interpreter of operetta roles.

He could also be heard on the Dutch radio, e.g. B. on November 14, 1928 with the prologue from “ Bajazzo ” by Leoncavallo , accompanied on the piano by Ben Gijzel. He performed several times with the hero tenor Jacques Urlus, who grew up in Tilburg . He was last heard with this singer in 1932 at a performance of "Lohengrin" on the Berlin radio, where he sang King Heinrich, Urlus the Lohengrin. In 1930 he became a singing teacher at the church music school of the Episcopal Ordinariate in Berlin and since then has mainly appeared as an oratorio singer, but also gave guest performances on the stage until after the Second World War .

After the seizure of power by the National Socialists for Louis van de Sande and other Dutch artists in Berlin was increasingly difficult life. His friend Bronsgeest had to vacate his post on the radio, and his piano accompanist Gijzel was sent back to Holland. So he too preferred to leave Germany and go back to his homeland. In 1935 Louis van de Sande performed in his hometown Tilburg in Holland in the schouwburg . Only after the end of the world war did he return to Berlin, where he worked as a singing teacher until his death. Louis van de Sande died at the age of 67 on July 7, 1954 in Berlin.

Records

Van de Sande left over 300 acoustic recordings on the labels of over 30 companies, primarily on Polydor , but also on Homocord, Kalliope , Lyrophon, Odeon ; electrical recordings on Orchestrola, Ultraphon and Telefunken (ensemble scene from Aida , June 1932), on Christschall and Artiphon. The majority of these recordings were made in the years 1926–1931, most of them in Dutch, but a number also in German.
