Comments and Reviews

Gill Sans SUBS 12th Sep 2021		Aafje Heynis had sung in local choirs since childhood but it was in the immediate aftermath of the 2nd World War that she was propelled into national fame: The day after the liberation of the Netherlands she was invited to sing at an impromptu piano recital given in the street in Wormerveer as part of the town's celebrations. She had recently learnt Handel's 'Dank Sei Dir, Herr' with a Nazi-edited text which she sang without realising but this was overlooked by the crowd who were astonished to find such talent in their community. The aria, sometimes ascribed also to Siegfried Ochs, was to become one of the favourites of her repertoire. O amantissime sponse Jesu was written in 1704 by the barely-remembered Christian Ritter who had been one of the leading composers of the North German organ school. This score had been rediscovered in Berlin, and here was performed in the 1959 Holland Festival. Heynis came to the notice of British listeners in the 60s when she recorded several British folk songs, as a result of which she was compared to Kathleen Ferrier, but Heynis' light voice is much more akin to Janet Baker's mezzo-soprano.
