Andreas Scholl
“The King of modern countertenors - now at the height of his powers”
Biography
This season Andreas Scholl makes his operatic debut at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival singing the title-role in Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser’s new production of Giulio Cesare opposite Cecilia Bartoli. He also returns to the Metropolitan Opera for Rodelinda with Renée Fleming and will tour North America with The English Concert. The 2011/12 season also sees Scholl also release an album of Bach cantatas with kammerorchesterbasel for Decca Classics, with the repertoire featuring in a tour of Europe and the UK.
Reviews
“Andreas Scholl’s disc 'Crystal Tears', a darkly entrancing program of music from Elizabethan and Jacobean England, is my candidate for CD of the year. Scholl, a German countertenor with a pure yet full voice, goes uncannily deep into the songs of John Dowland and his contemporaries; the lutenist Julian Behr and the viol consort Concerto di viole provide immaculate, hypnotic accompaniment.” (The Ten Best Classical Music Recordings of 2008, The New Yorker, December 2008)
"In the three Handel solo cantatas - all about the ecstasies and the agonies of love - Scholl was storyteller supreme, daring his audience to stay fully engaged for every compelling second." (The Times, June 2006)
