Sascha Jacobsen was a Russian violinist and teacher born (in Helsinki, Finland) on December 10, 1895. Jacobsen’s birthdate is also given as November 29, 1895 and December 11, 1895. Little is known of his early life. It has been said that he grew up in St Petersburg. He has been often confused with another violinist (from Philadelphia) named Sascha Jacobson. A humorous song written by George Gershwin in 1921 includes his (first) name (along with those of Jascha, Toscha, and Mischa – Russian violinists Heifetz, Seidel, and Elman, respectively.) It is known that he enrolled at Juilliard in 1908 where his main teacher was Franz Kneisel. He graduated from Juilliard (Institute of Musical Art) in June of 1914 (some sources say 1915.) He was 18 years old. (A fellow-student of his was Elias Breeskin.) In February of 1915, Jacobsen played parts of Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnol at an Aeolian Hall concert. On November 27, 1915, he made his official recital debut at Aeolian Hall playing (among other things) Saint Saens’ third concerto. After the announced program was concluded, he had to play numerous encores and he received very favorable reviews the following day. He first soloed with the New York Philharmonic on March 9, 1919 (at age 23) playing Bruch’s first concerto with Walter Damrosch conducting. Jacobsen concertized as a soloist between 1915 and 1925. He began teaching at Juilliard in 1926. After being hired, he almost immediately formed the Musical Art Quartet which disbanded in 1945, after almost 20 years of concert activity. Recordings of this quartet are not hard to find. Jacobsen also did solo recordings, although mostly of short works for violin and piano. A well-known recording of his is the Chausson concerto for string quartet, violin, and piano with Jascha Heifetz as violin soloist. You can listen to that recording here. He moved to Los Angeles (California, USA) in 1946 and taught at the Los Angeles Conservatory but at other music schools as well. From September 1947 and May 1949, he was guest concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Some sources say he was concertmaster up to 1952 but I could not confirm that. It has been said that Albert Einstein was one of Jacobsen’s pupils. (Einstein also took lessons from Toscha Seidel.) Jacobsen’s most famous pupils are probably Julius Hegyi and Zvi Zeitlin. Among the violins he played are the Red Diamond Stradivarius (1732), the Cessole Stradivarius (1716), the Windsor Stradivarius (1717), a GB Guadagnini (1779), another GB Guadagnini (1772), and a Del Gesu Guarnerius constructed in 1732. Jacobsen died on March 19, 1972, at age 76.

Dutch tenor, Evert Miedema sings / in Dutch / "So ihr mich von ganzen Herzen suchet" (If with all your hearts) from Mendelssohn's oratorio "Elias". Recorded in 1927. The tenor Evert Miedema was born on 10 September 1887 in Rotterdam-Kralingen as the son of the sculptor Simon Miedema. He initially took painting and modelling lessons at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam, but then opted for a career as a photographer. In 1910 he opened a photo shop on the Oostzeedijk. On the advice of his wife's piano teacher, he went to take singing lessons, first with Jacoba de Bijl, after 2 years with Cornelie van Zanten in The Hague. In 1916 he made his debut with great success in Romberg's "Das Lied von der Glocke". His operatic debut followed in 1917 with the role of Fenton in Verdi's Falstaff. The singing then took him so much that he had to get rid of his photo shop. In 1921 Miedema settled in London, where he starred in a number of films. At the hands of the millionaire Sir Henry van den Bergh, to whose house concerts he collaborated, he was financially enabled in 1922 to hold a recital in the Wigmore Hall in London. He then performed as a guest singer at the Carl Rosen Company in Puccini's "Butterfly". In the same year he returned to the Netherlands, he was associated with the short-lived Dutch National Opera and formed a vocal quartet together with Jo Vincent, Theodora Versteegh and Willem Ravelli. He also received invitations for oratorios and recitals. In 1923 Miedema was the first lyrical tenor to be engaged at the Stadttheater of Aussig (in later East Germany), where he sang, among other things, in "La Traviata" and "Rigoletto". This was followed by commitments with the Landestheater in Braunschweig and a not very happy period in Munich-Gladbach. He returned to the Netherlands, to give recitals and rejoined the Jo Vincent quartet. In 1930 he was awarded a contract with the Vlaamsche Opera in Antwerp, where he made his debut in "Lohengrin". At the end of the season, Miedema was diagnosed with a heart defect, which forced him to give up opera. He therefore started to devote himself to photography again and gave singing lessons. However, he still had success as a singer with the Van Zanten quartet, including Ankie van Wickevoort-Crommelin, Jo van der Meent and Bas de Groot. In 1934 Miedema accepted a teaching post at the Conservatory of Rotterdam. With the premiere of Willem Pijper's "Halewijn" in 1935 he ended his singing career and then opened a photo studio in Utrecht, where he mainly focused on portrait photography. Later he specialized in color photography, to which he discovered a process all his own. He died on 19 September 1979 in Utrecht.
