Wolfgang Holzmair - Melodies francaises
Wolfgang Holzmair (baritone) Gérard Wyss (piano)

[ Philips / CD ]

Release Date: Monday 11 March 1996

Wolfgang Holzmair has long been recognised as one of today's most accomplished and intelligent Lieder singers. He brings a refinement and subtlety to his performances worthy of the great German Lieder baritones, but it is the silky elegance of his voice that has always seduced listeners and critics: the golden, tenorial top as well as his rich, soulful lower register.

"This musical bouquet gives rare pleasure … There is something other-worldly about the reflective sostenuto that Holzmair preserves throughout." Fanfare, March 2019
