Werner Hollweg

Werner Hollweg was a versatile German tenor who graced opera stages and recording studios from the 1960s through the 1980s. Known for his crisp, lyrical voice and thoughtful interpretations, he became a beloved figure in Mozart roles—you can hear his charm in recordings like *La clemenza di Tito* and the rarely performed *Zaide*. Hollweg didn’t just stick to the classics, though; he embraced 20th-century works like Gottfried von Einem’s *Dantons Tod* and Krenek’s *Karl V*, showing off his adaptability. His collaborations with top conductors and his knack for German Lieder (check out his *Deutsche Volkslieder* recordings) made him a well-rounded artist. Whether nailing the drama of Mahler’s *Das klagende Lied* or bringing wit to Lehár’s *Die Lustige Witwe*, Hollweg’s recordings capture a singer deeply connected to the music. He passed away in 2007, leaving behind a discography that still delights classical fans today.
