Desert Island Discs - Jonas Kaufmann
|
Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the tenor,
Jonas Kaufmann.
Frequently referred to as one of the greatest singers
of his generation, both his parents fled East Germany for Munich between the
end of the war and the Berlin wall being erected. Jonas was brought up
singing in choirs, playing the piano and listening to a range of classical
music. When he was seven, he was enthralled by seeing his first opera -
Madam Butterfly. He studied Maths at university, but soon changed to music
and quickly started getting professional singing work.
Since then he
has taken on many of the great roles for tenors, at opera houses around the
world - Don Carlo, Don José (Carmen), Alfredo (La Traviata), and Cavaradossi
(Tosca). He is also known as a singer of 'Lieder' & renowned not only for
the beauty of his voice but for his musical range. |
