Holger Falk
Biography
German baritone Holger Falk specializes in 20th century and contemporary vocal music but is an adventurous programmer comfortable in various repertories. When he won the prestigious Echo Klassik Award in 2016, it was indicative of his talents that the award was given not for the lieder repertory that one might have expected from a rising young German baritone but for a complete recording of Erik Satie's mélodies and chansons. The magazine Opernwelt called Falk "one of the most intellectually and vocally most flexible singer on German stages." Falk devoted several albums in the 2020s to the Les Six composers of 1920s France, including Georges Auric: Mélodies & Chansons in 2024.
