Christoph Prégardien

Prégardien, tenor, began his music career in a boys choir before studying voice in Frankfurt, Milan and Stuttgart. He is regarded as one of today's outstanding lyric tenors and has received invitations from renowned conductors such as Cahilly, Gardiner, Harnoncourt, Herreweghe, Marriner and Rilling for major roles in oratorios, passions and operas.

A substantial part of his repertoire is dedicated to the German romanti song.

Prégardine's numerous CD releases and tours outside Europe (Japan and North America) have brought him world wide fame. He sang for the Hyperion Schubert Edition.
