Stephan Genz "has one of the most beautiful voices around today," said Gramophone magazine, naming his Beethoven recording Best of the Year in 1999. In an astonishingly short time, this young German baritone's natural musicality and acute intelligence have made him one of Europe's most sought-after lieder interpreters. He has won widespread acclaim for his recent recitals in Paris' Théâtre Châtelet and Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, London's Wigmore Hall, and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, and his January 2000 New York debut was a sensation. True to our mission of bringing the finest new artists to Bay Area audiences, Cal Performances presents this rising young star in his first West Coast recital.
