Dietrich Henschel
Baritone Dietrich Henschel's career has encompassed the music of composers as diverse as Bach and Henze on stage and in concert and recital halls. He has had an international career focusing especially on art song and orchestral song.
Henschel was born in Berlin in 1967 but grew up mostly in Nuremberg, where his father was an art educator. He started playing the recorder at age four and quickly showed musical talent. His parents bought him a piano, and while learning to play that, he formed the idea that he wanted to become a conductor. Much of the first part of his musical education took place in those two fields, but he also had voice lessons at a Nuremberg arts high school with Anneliese Puchner. He went on to the Musikhochschule München, where he studied voice. Henschel's voice teachers have included Hanno Blaschke and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He has sometimes been regarded as a successor to the latter, but his voice is darker, and he has sometimes been classified as a bass-baritone.
Henschel made his professional debut at the 1990 Munich Biennale, a festival of contemporary music, appearing in Michèle Reverdy's opera Le Précepteur. From 1993 to 1995, he was a member of the permanent cast at Germany's Kiel Opera. His career has shown a dedication to contemporary music, and in 1997, he sang the lead role in Hans Werner Henze's opera Der Prinz von Homburg. His international debut came that year in Busoni's opera Doktor Faust at the Opéra National de Lyon in France. In 2000, Henschel made his recording debut on the Angel label, performing Schubert's song cycle Die schöne Müllerin, D. 795.
Henschel is an exceptionally versatile singer, excelling in a wide range of operas, concert music, and art song. His operatic repertory ranges from the lead role in Monteverdi's Orfeo (1607) to Dr. Schön in Alban Berg's Lulu (1935). He has also performed in operatic premieres by major composers, including Péter Eötvös, Peter Ruzicka, and Chaja Czernowin. Henschel is in demand for art song recitals, often featuring the songs of Schubert and Beethoven but also with a repertory extending forward to Wolf, Mahler, and Erich Korngold. He has had various accompanists, including Irwin Gage, Helmut Deutsch, Leonard Hokanson, and Shinya Okahara; with the latter, he has frequently toured Japan.
In 2007, Henschel appeared on conductor William Christie's recording of Haydn's Die Schöpfung with Les Arts Florissants, and he often performs concert music at European festivals. Henschel has recorded for various labels, including Harmonia Mundi, Evil Penguin, and Capriccio, appearing on the latter label in a 2023 recording of Henze's opera Das Floß der Medusa. By that time, his recording catalog comprised some 90 items.
