Here is perhaps the artist with the most varied operatic repertoire of any contemporary German Operatic Baritone that I am aware of. He even excelled in some bass/baritone roles (the Dutchman above as well as Barak in DIE FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN among others besides taking various Verdi roles like Rigoletto, Boccanegra, Amonasro ). I saw him in 3, the Dutchman & Michelle in Hamburg plus Iago in Wien, the latter when he was already over 70. All these performances were exceptional . There is even a DVD from not so long ago of him as Prince Ottokar in DER FREISCHÜTZ where he negotiates a high G Sharp without any problem. He is probably finally retired now being in his 80’s but who knows. Look at Panerai for instance.
einfach wunderschön und volle Pathos. Dankeschön!

Beautiful voice.
Absolut überzeugend. Stimmlich wie darstellerisch. Spitze!
Amazing voice and technique. I’ve always thought this was an underrated singer.
