		In his 60th year, Heinz Holliger is becoming the subject of intense media scrutiny, as press articles and radio and television portraits focus upon the diversity of his activity, his strengths on so many artistic fronts.
		Born in Langenthal, Switzerland, in 1939, Heinz Holliger studied oboe and composition at the conservatories of Berne, Basle, and Paris.
		Holliger's repertoire includes several hundred works from the baroque to the avant-garde: he has been an innovator in both domains, playing improvised cadenzas in Baroque and classical concerts, and greatly expanding the vocabulary of the oboe in new music by the introduction of unorthodox playing techniques.

	ECM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Born in Langenthal, Switzerland, in 1939, Heinz Holliger studied both oboe and composition at the conservatories of Berne, Basle, and Paris.
		Holliger's repertoire includes several hundred works from the Baroque to the avant-garde: he has been an innovator in both domains, playing improvised cadenzas in Baroque and classical concertos, and greatly expanding the vocabulary of the oboe in new music by the introduction of unorthodox playing techniques.
		Heinz Holliger has published over sixty compositions since 1960 and although instrumental works predominate over his radical settings of, for example, Hölderlin (the monumental Scardinelli-Zyklus), Robert Walser (Beiseit) and Samuel Beckett (Come And Go), literature is often a vital impulse behind even the non-vocal pieces.

		Holliger helpfully explained that the piece is based on a half-row of six notes in a nod to the composer Stefan Wolpe, who frequently wrote on such a basis.
		Holliger seemed to be dusting off cobwebs on a piece that, after all, wasn’t originally supposed to be played on this evening.
		Holliger could not have pulled off such an individual and stunning performance without the full cooperation of The Juilliard players — Joel Smirnoff, Samuel Rhodes, and Joel Krosnick — who were silvered in sound and eloquently passionate yet unfortunately almost too deferential.

	Musical Times: Holliger at 60: Keeping the faith
		WHILE IT MIGHT NOT literally be the case that Heinz Holliger's phenomenal achievements as an oboe player have actively inhibited recognition of his virtues as a composer, his music is not as well known - at least outside Switzerland - as it deserves to be.
		Holliger's early composition studies in Berne with Sandor Veress could well have given him fundamental insights into the way composers might adapt to change - in Veress's case, moving beyond a sprightly neo-classicism - while making a virtue of the consequent tensions between 'older' and 'newer' procedures and possibilities.
		Holliger did not suddenly become a one-poet composer, however, and the fact that his principal period of involvement with Holderlin is paralleled by a no-less intensive engagement with Beckett indicates his reluctance to abandon the kind of mainstream' 20th-century modernism that had made Beckett a significant presence on the musical scene.

	La Folia -- The Year’s So Far Best
		Holliger’s interest in the creative personality’s descent into madness is available to interpretation, without much difficulty, as a bleak allegory: The composer addressing with consummate craft the artist’s place in a culture in which banishment to the margins is the price one pays for one’s disdain of the facile gesture.
		Holliger’s music is neither easy nor conciliatory, even if, here at the start of the twenty-first century, it reads as a rear-guard action.
		Holliger’s portrayals are a marvel: Snow White’s passive yet crystalline demeanor and startling attitude shifts; the Queen’s saccharine hypocrisy and ill-veiled malevolence; the Prince’s preening absurdity, seasoned with voyeurism and a taste for necrophilia; the Huntsman’s contradictory realities; and finally the King, whose brief appearance is that of a superficially fond, indifferent parent.

	Tisch Center Announces 2003 - 2004 Classical Concert Season
		Holliger made both recordings with his longtime musical partners oboist Maurice Bourgue and bassoonist Klaus Thunemann, both of whom join him on stage at the Y for a special Zelenka "reunion." The ensemble will also include double-bassist Michael Willens and additional musicians to be announced.
		Holliger's 1972 recording project, which entailed reconstruction of some passages from Zelenka's early manuscripts, was instrumental in bringing the importance and depth of this idiosyncratic music to the attention of audiences and critics.
		Heinz Holliger is an accomplished conductor and composer as well as a world-renowned oboist.

	Holliger, Cutler, Saunders Wigmore hall 3 April 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The programme was cleverly contrasted around the unusual instrumentation for Heinz Holliger's 12 Lieder settings of Robert Walser, composed 1990/91 and dedicated to Kurtag.
		Holliger wanted it 'inimitably Swiss', so he accompanied his counter-tenor soloist with clarinet(s), accordion and double bass, instruments of a traditional Swiss folk band.
		The Holliger cycle should certainly be recorded and the whole programme, unified by its instrumentation, would make an excellent, thought-provoking CD.

	Walter A. Strauss - Samuel Beckett and Music (review) - SubStance 29:2
		The division will be three-fold: (a) two of Beckett's dramatic works that have been set to music by Heinz Holliger; (b) the two works involving Music as a dramatis personae; (c) the collaboration between Beckett and Morton Feldman on the chamber opera Neither.
		Holliger expands this simplest of all patterns instrumentally and vocally.
		Holliger remarked "Beckett would have undoubtedly hated Come and Go because I used his play as a pretext, and in the end I destroyed it." The other play for which Holliger composed music is What Where, in 1988.

		Heinz Holliger (b.1939) is held in the greatest esteem in his native Switzerland, bestriding the first weeks in his multiple roles.
		Holliger's 'ghost and goblin music' Alb-Cher (1991), composed for the opening of a museum collection of Swiss folk instruments, took a macabre Valais legend, distantly related to The Soldier's Tale, about the nature of music 'which cannot be mastered with ill-will and envy'.
		Holliger conducted the Camerata Bern 'from the oboe' and, with Thomas Zehetmair leading, Bach's double concerto BWV 1060 was unalloyed delight, presaging a memorable morning of music making.

	Heinz Holliger
		For Holliger, who claims he has no sense of being a technical pioneer, it is simply the means by which the oboe's status can be increased.
		By interesting contemporary composers in the oboe, Holliger has sought to ensure that first- rate material is being written for the instrument now.
		As a composer, it was natural for Holliger to explore the technical and expressive capabilities of his own instrument.

		The core is two oboe quartets by Elliott Carter and Isang Yun, both dedicated to and performed by Heinz Holliger, one of the world's leading oboists.
		That was the logical core of a 1-disc Holliger release that would also include "A 6 Letter Letter" by Carter and "Piri" by the Korean composer, both solo pieces.
		Holliger traverses the extended landscape of "Piri" with delicacy and impeccable phrasing, and anyone who can hold one's attention through a 14-minute oboe solo as consistently as he does deserves some kind of musican-of-the-decade award.

		Being solo oboist of the Basler Orchester-Gesellschaft from 1959 to 1963, Holliger won several first prizes at international music competitions in Geneva (1959) and Munich (Internationaler Musikwettbewerb der ARD, 1961) which allowed him from 1961 worldwide performances and recordings as a solo oboist.
		As an oboist, Holliger has used his vast technical expertise to revolutionize and extend the way other composers view the instrument’s potential.

	Trio Sonatas by Heinz Holliger at jsbach.org
		Bach's Trio Sonatas are usually played on the organ, although they were probably intended for the pedal harpsichord, an instrument as extinct today as the dodo bird.
		Heinz Holliger and friends bring out the color of these pieces more sucessfully than most organ performances do.
		The extraordinary talent of Heinz Holliger makes any of his recordings a must-have.

	Tower Records - Zelenka: Trio Sonatas / Holliger, Bourgue, Zehetmair, et al
		It was Heinz Holliger and friends who began the "Zelenka Renaissance," if you can call it that, way back in the early 1970s with their Archiv recording of these Trio Sonatas.
		For this reason, it's not surprising that Holliger wanted to take another shot at music that he has lived with for nearly 40 years, and his performances (which include several members of his original Archiv team) are an improvement in every way.
		Where before he was content to more or less get through the notes, here he and his partners play with such ease and sovereign command, and are so beautifully recorded, that this set easily becomes the reference edition for this marvelous music.

	La Folia -- Two ECM Beauties: Holliger and Lachenmann
		Holliger isn’t the least ambiguous about where his sympathies lie.
		Hölderlin is recognized as one of Germany’s great Romantic poets, Walser (I learn from the notes) as a writer of labyrinthine complexity, and Soutter (I also learn from the notes) as a brilliant instrumentalist and painter whose disturbing, violent visions earned him a madhouse bed.
		Holliger as conductor of an ensemble apparently at ease with difficult new music is about as authoritative as it gets.
