The Dutch bass, Peter Kooij, has been active solist in many concerts all over the world in the most important concert-halls, has performed with world's most famous conductors and he is is the artistic director of the "Ensemble Vocal Européen". He started his musical career at the age of six as a choir boy and sang many solo soprano parts in concerts and on records. However, he started his formal musical studies as a violin student. This was followed by singing tuition from Max van Egmond at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam, and in 1980 he obtained a diploma for solo performance.
Peter Kooij’s wide repertoire contains all kind of music from Schütz to Weill and he has made over hundred CD’s including for Philips, Sony and Virgin Classics. His recordings in the complete series of Bach cantatas with Masaaki Suzuki and Bach Collegium Japan have received wide acclaim. His performances of Bach's cantatas and Passions are unusually sympathetic, assisted by a soft-grained timbre and an eloquent verbal delivery.
