Howard Crook
Biography
Tenor Howard Crook achieved a reputation among singers of the Baroque repertory (with a special emphasis on the French Baroque) in Europe. With many recordings to his credit, he was well represented by the early opera roles and concert works in which he was heard to best advantage, especially those whose high tessitura presented special challenges to other, shorter-ranged tenors. Among Crook's recordings were Handel's Messiah, the Monteverdi Vespers, Jean-Marie Leclair's 1746 Scylla et Glaucus, and Lully's Alceste, ou Le triomphe d'Alcide. Crook taught at the Paris Conservatory and offered master classes before retiring. He died on August 27, 2024.
