Veteran and newcomer:
Markus Schirmer
sits at the grand piano and pours his heart out to the beautiful Müllerin together with the new star in the baritone sky
Konstantin Krimmel
.
Promoted as a BBC New Generation Artist, the baritone is the new star in the opera sky. His great love is the concert and song repertoire, which the winner of numerous competitions is constantly expanding and impressively presenting on the most renowned stages.
Nie könnte man die berühmte Stecknadel lauter fallen hören als in jenen kostbaren Momenten, in denen sich Markus Schirmer, Jahrgang 1963, an den Flügel setzt. Sein unerhört eloquentes und beredtes Klavierspiel hat ihn nicht nur zum Publikumsliebling seiner Heimatstadt Graz gemacht, sondern auch zu einem preisgekrönten Star auf den Podien der Welt.
Baritone Konstantin Krimmel is much in demand at the moment: “Elias” in Madrid; “Flying Dutchman” in Hamburg; member of the Bavarian State Opera. From Bayreuth to Amsterdam, his Lieder concerts are momentous occasions. For his Styriarte debut, he plays Schubert, with Markus Schirmer at the grand piano. For the young singer from Ulm, “Die schöne Müllerin” is the Old Testament of his art but also the timeless story of a broken, romantic hero.
