Info:
An eagerly awaited debut opens San Francisco Performances' 35th Season. While he has triumphed in international opera and oratorio appearances, Christian Gerhaher is today's foremost interpreter of Lieder (songs written by German-speaking composers spanning from the Middle Ages to the Romantic period). He possesses a very distinct, compelling voice, and the beauty of his singing has been described as an extension of true speech.
Joined by his longstanding recital partner Gerold Huber, Gerhaher introduces his artistry with a program that highlights the Viennese peak of the art song tradition with works by Beethoven, Schonberg, Haydn and Berg.
Gerhaher's September 30 performance precedes his October 2014 engagement with the Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle in Peter Sellars' "ritualization" of St. Matthew's Passion at the Park Avenue Armory, part of Lincoln Center's White Light Festival in New York City. Gerhaher will return to San Francisco in February 2015 with Herbert Blomstedt in Brahms' German Requiem for his debut with the San Francisco Symphony.
