Samuel Hasselhorn

**Samuel Hasselhorn** is a celebrated German baritone known for his rich, expressive voice and deep connection to the Romantic song repertoire. Born in Göttingen, Germany, he studied at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin and rose to prominence after winning top prizes at prestigious competitions like the 2019 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, where he also took home the Song Prize. His performances of Schubert lieder, showcased in recent releases like *Die schöne Müllerin* and *Erlkönig*, highlight his knack for blending poetic nuance with crystalline vocal control—a skill that’s made him a standout interpreter of German art song.

Hasselhorn’s discography leans into haunting, introspective works, from Korngold’s *Die tote Stadt* to Humperdinck’s *Königskinder*, revealing his flair for dramatic storytelling. He frequently collaborates with pianist Gerold Huber and champions both well-loved classics (*Auf dem Wasser zu singen*) and lesser-known gems (*Urlicht: Songs of Death and Resurrection*). With a voice that’s been called “velvet-toned” and “achingly sincere,” he’s become a defining voice for a new generation of classical music lovers.
