Hermann Schey (1895-1981) was a German-born Dutch bass-baritone, active in opera, concert music and broadcast repertory. He became closely associated with Dutch musical life.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony under Willem van Otterloo with Residentie Orkest den Haag and the Amsterdam Toonkunst Choir.

Schey’s singing brought the firm lower-voice authority needed for Beethoven’s choral finale, where the bass-baritone must announce rather than merely enter.

His page is justified by secure identity and repertory context. Schey gives this Dutch Beethoven strand a grounded vocal opening.
