Sebastian Bluth

The German baritone, Sebastian Bluth, studied singing at the Hanns
Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin under Peter Tschaplik. He attended Dietrich
Fischer-Dieskau’s Lieder Classes, and also took lessons from Elisabeth
Schwarzkopf and Peter Schreier.

In 1992 he won a prize in the Paula Lindberg-Salomon Competition,
and as a young singer he made his debut with a Lieder evening at the
Feldkirch Schubertiade. This was followed with concerts in Germany
and other countries; for instance, he appeared at the Schubert Cycle
of the Cologne Philharmonic, as a guest in concerts at the Gasteig in
Munich, in the Berlin Philharmonic and the Konzerthaus in Berlin, and
at concerts in aid of the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in Dresden.

Sebastian Bluth has made his appearance in numerous oratorio and opera
productions with the Gewandhausorchester, the Thomanerchor Leipzig,
and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. He also sang at the Kurt
Weill Festivals and the Potsdam Music Festivals. Radio and television
productions testify to the spectrum that this young singer covers. His
repertoire stretches from baroque operas like Dido and Aeneas and Age
Romanticism oratorios such as Brahms’ A German Requiem right through
to 20th-century songs.

Sebastian Bluth's first solo CD appeared from Naxos in 1998, and contained
Lieder by Robert Schumann (Dichterliebe and Liederkreis op. 39). He won
the special prize for Lieder interpretation at the 1999 ‘Meistersänger-
wettbewerb’ in Nuremberg.
