»Few artists … have such a smooth, dark, inviting voice«, according to ›The New York Times‹ describing this singer celebrated by the Wiener Staatsoper, New York Metropolitan Opera and La Scala Milan for his opera and recital performances. Matthias Goerne is one of today’s most versatile and sought-after baritones and has collaborated with almost all renowned conductors and orchestras. Most recently he was Artist in Residence at the New York Philharmonic as well as at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. He is also an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in London. Among last season’s much acclaimed performances were those with Jaap van Zweden and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, Cristian Măcelaru and the Orchestre National de France and Antonio Pappano and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Matthias Goerne has also reached the peak of international acclaim as an ambassador for German Lieder. For his many recordings, this sought-after singer has received numerous awards, including a Grammy, the German Record Critics’ Prize and an Echo Klassik for ›Singer of the Year‹. At the beginning of 2023, his latest album ›Schubert Revisited‹ was released on the Deutsche Grammophon label, including some of his previously unheard orchestral arrangements of Schubert’s songs, performed in collaboration with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Matthias Goerne has been associated with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen for many years. A recent highlight was the joint performance of Brahms’ ›Requiem‹ in Bremen Cathedral.
