German baritone Benjamin Appl is Gramophone ‘Young Artist of the Year 2016’ and one of the stars of the European ‘Echo Rising Stars’ concert series.
Appl is a former chorister of the famous German choir Regensburger Domspatzen, and now one of the most interesting artists of the new generation, with a great voice, charming personality and great stage presence.
The new album presents wonderful music by Johann Sebastian Bach from famous as well as less known cantatas but also from the St Matthew Passion.
It was recorded with the renowned Ensemble Concerto Köln, one of the leading ensembles for historically-informed performance practice.
“Although a tad weak at the bottom end of the register, Appl’s lightish baritone, with its ravishing bloom, is well suited to Bach, and this is a thoughtful programme, enhanced by fine playing on period instruments by Concerto Köln, not least in the instrumental movements that break up the recital.” (Sunday Times)
