Christian Gerhaher is a distinguished German baritone highly acclaimed for his interpretations in the lieder, concert, and opera genres. Born on July 24, 1969, in Straubing, Bavaria, Gerhaher excelled in his musical education, studying voice under Paul Kuen and Raimund Grumbach at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, and later perfecting his art under the tutelage of famed American baritone, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

His collaborations with pianist Gerold Huber have been a cornerstone of his career, yielding numerous critically acclaimed recordings, including the complete 'Schumann: Alle Lieder', a testament to his mastery of art song. His extensive discography also showcases his versatility, from the intimate recital atmosphere of 'Schubert: Die schöne Müllerin, D. 795' to grander scales, such as his spiritual and profound interpretation of 'Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde'. A consummate artist, Gerhaher consistently demonstrates an intellectual curiosity and emotional intelligence that makes his performances not just heard, but deeply felt by audiences worldwide.
