Christian Gerhaher is a phenomenon. Celebrated by audiences, acclaimed by critics and experts, and often compared to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in his rank as a song singer, the Munich baritone remains a doubter, someone who continually questions himself and his art. Perhaps this is what makes him the exceptional artist he is, having first studied philosophy before earning his medical degree. His warm, clear, and bright-toned voice enchants even more as he deeply engages with songs, opera roles, and concert pieces, always probing existential themes. In this volume, created in collaboration with musicologist Vera Baur, Christian Gerhaher reflects for the first time in book form on topics and experiences that move him and have shaped his career. An extraordinary read that reveals a thoughtful yet humorous individual.
