Krešimir Stražanac

**Krešimir Stražanac** is a Croatian bass-baritone celebrated for his rich, expressive voice and dynamic presence in classical music. Born in Zagreb, he honed his craft at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, becoming a standout interpreter of German lieder, opera, and sacred works. Stražanac has graced stages like the Vienna State Opera and Bavarian State Opera, collaborating with top-tier conductors and ensembles while earning praise for his nuanced storytelling through song.

His recent releases—including heartfelt renditions of Schubert’s *Schwanengesang*, Brahms’ *Ein Deutsches Requiem*, and Boris Bersa’s art songs—showcase his versatility and deep connection to both Central European classics and Croatian repertoire. Whether delivering the haunting *Ständchen* or the solemn beauty of a requiem, Stražanac blends technical precision with emotional depth, making him a compelling voice in today’s classical scene.
