Timeline
Han Samuel de Vries (born 31 August 1941, The Hague), is a Dutch oboist and is considered the doyen of the Dutch school of oboe playing.
He studied oboe with Jaap Stotijn at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and with his son Haakon Stotijn at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam.
He was a founding member of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble in 1960.
He won many prizes in his youth, including the Prix d'Excellence in 1962.
In 1963, at the age of 22, he became principal oboist at the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
He remained with the Concertgebouw Orchestra for seven years, after which he focused on chamber music and a solo career.
In 1964, he was appointed professor at the Sweelinck Conservatory, where he subsequently taught for almost three decades.
Later he limited himself to giving masterclasses.
As a soloist, De Vries has toured Europe, Japan, Australia, and North and South America, with a repertory of baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary music.
Among the composers who have dedicated music to him are Louis Andriessen (Anachronie II, musique d’ameublement ("furniture music"), to the memory of Erik Satie. 1969), Peter Schat (Theme op. 21, 1970), Bruno Maderna (Oboe Concerto No. 3, 1973), Morton Feldman (Oboe and Orchestra, 1976), and Willem Breuker (Oboe Concertos Nos. 1 and 2, 1992, 2000).
Most of these pieces employ unorthodox techniques for oboe like multiphonics, fluttertonguing, and glissandi, as if to emphasize De Vries' wide range from baroque to postmodern music.
De Vries has a deep interest in the history of oboes and oboe music.
He assembled a large collection of historical oboes which is now at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
He also has edited Baroque oboe repertoire, published previously unpublished old oboe music, and pursued lost oboe music like Beethoven's oboe concerto.
Instigated by Frans Brüggen, De Vries has played baroque oboe besides the modern oboe since 1970, at which time this was still unusual.
He was a member of the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra and in 1973 he joined the Danzi (Wind) Quintet.
He has made many recordings, one of which (of the oboe sonatas of Schumann, Bartók, Ben Haim, Poulenc and Shinohara with pianist Rudolf Jansen) won an Edison Award in 1973.
In 1997, he was named an Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
Two CD boxes contain his recorded legacy: Han de Vries – The Radio Recordings (Oboe Classics CC 2024, 9CDs + 2 DVDs) was released in 2011 to mark his 70th birthday, and Han de Vries – The almost last recordings (Attacca Records 2016.148, 18 CDs + 1 DVD) was released in 2016 to mark his 75th birthday.
