Peter Schreier (1935-2019)

[Herman van der Woude]

On Christmas Day 2019 Peter Schreier died at his home in Dresden,
Germany. He was a very distinguished singer, reknown for his
interpretations of Bach, Mozart, Schubert and Schumann. In this group
we will al remember him as David in Karajan´s recording of Die
Meistersinger. He was also a very talented Bach-conductor.I regard him
as one of the very great voices of the 20th century. He became 84. He
will be missed by all who love good, intellectual and sensitive
singing.
Let us be glad that we still have his voice on many recordings.

And an excellent Loge and Mime on Janowski's early digital RING.

Yes, you are quite right! How could I forget, as I have this Ring in my
collection - an underrated Ring, if you ask me.

I agree - and the two best parts are Rheingold and Siegfried, the two operas in which Schreier participated. I don't think that's a coincidence....

He was a great David, and a great Max in Der Freischutz as well.
