The baritone, trained by Walter Berry, is one of the superlatives in his field and has been acclaimed at the world's greatest opera houses and concert halls, for example in Milan, Paris, Dresden, Chicago and Tokyo, and has appeared under Riccardo Muti, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Christian Thielemann and Fabio Luisi, among others.
Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective played unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and worked with outstanding conductors.
Michael Hell, born in North Rhine-Westphalia, is a virtuoso on both the recorder and the harpsichord whose reputation extends far beyond his adopted home of Graz. He is also a leading expert in basso continuo and historical performance practice, who knows how to convey the rules and history of his art with infectious enthusiasm.
