Conversations with Vera Baur<br />
Christian Gerhaher is an exceptional German<br />
artist who has been celebrated by international<br />
audiences. He has received acclaim by<br />
critics and experts and has often been compared<br />
to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in his reputation<br />
as a lied singer. The Munich baritone,<br />
born in 1969, remains a skeptic and an intellectual<br />
who continually questions himself and<br />
his art. In fact a medical student, he received<br />
his vocal training as a guest student at the<br />
Munich College for Music and Theater and in<br />
masterclasses with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau,<br />
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Inge Borkh. Ever<br />
since his debut at the Salzburg Festival in<br />
2006, he has been setting standards in the<br />
interpretation of lieder and concert singing<br />
and is an internationally sought-after performer<br />
on the opera stage.<br />
In this collection of interviews (with Vera<br />
Baur) Christian Gerhaher reflects on issues<br />
and experiences that move him and have<br />
shaped his career. The book reveals an exceptionally<br />
thoughtful and educated person<br />
who searches for existential meaning in art.<br />
• a touching book about a musician's life<br />
with the German lied<br />
• informative assessments and personal<br />
statements<br />
• Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: "He is<br />
the best and most versatile baritone of<br />
our time."<br />
