Gerold Huber

Pianist Gerold Huber is best known for his work as an accompanist. He is particularly identified with the baritone Christian Gerhaher, with whom he has been teamed since the pair were students. Huber has also accompanied various other top-flight singers, including mezzo-soprano Bernarda Fink and soprano Diana Damrau. In collaboration with Gerhaher, he won an Echo Klassik Award in 2002 for their recording of Schubert's Die Winterreise, D. 911, and a Gramophone Award in the U.K. in 2006 for their album Abendbilder. In 2022, he backed soprano Christiane Karg on an album of works by Debussy and Reynaldo Hahn. In 2023, Huber joined Gerhaher and tenor Piotr Beczała on a recording of Mahler's rarely-heard voice-and-piano version of Das Lied von der Erde.
