about
Johannes Leertouwer was born in the Dutch city of Groningen and began playing the violin at an early age. A graduate of the Sweelink Conservatory of Amsterdam as a student Bouw Lemkes, he took part in the Oscar Back Violin Competition of 1983 and was awarded the Elisabeth Back Prize as well as the Buma Award for the best performance of the obligatory contemporary work. This enabled him to continue his studies with Josef Suk in Vienna and Prague. After his studies he concentrated on performance practice with historic instruments. He has worked with some of the most important ensembles in this field as a leader/concertmaster or as a soloist: Il Seminario Musicale (Gerard Lesne, Paris), Al Ayre Espagnol (Lopes Banzo, Madrid), the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra (Ton Koopman), the Orchestra of the Nederlandse Bach Vereniging (Jos van Veldhoven) and the Orchestra Anima Eterna (Jos van Immerseel, Antwerp). He has recorded a number of CD’s for the Dutch label Globe, including the complete sonatas of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann. As a founding member of the Schönbrunn Ensemble, specializing in performing chamber music on period instruments, he performs both nationally and internationally a repertory ranging from Frescobaldi to Debussy. In the year 2000 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the death of J.S. Bach, he performed the complete sonatas and partitas at historic venues in the Netherlands. At the Holland Festival of Early Music 2002 he performed the complete works
