Portrait Matthias Goerne

»Powerful and soft – never frivolous or sentimental«, is how Deutschlandradio Kultur described Matthias Goerne’s voice and style of interpretation. Because of these qualities, the baritone enjoys international success, whether on the opera stage or as a lieder and oratorio singer. Goerne also slips into different roles as a guest performer at the Elbphilharmonie: for an intimate setting with piano accompaniment, for orchestral lieder, and for Henze’s scandalous oratorio »The Raft of Medusa«.
