After his triumphant appearance as Lohengrin at the Bayreuth Festival in July 2011, Klaus Florian Vogt makes his debut album. His success at Bayreuth is the culmination of a unique career, becoming "the" German Wagnerian tenor par excellence in a remarkably short time, with regular appearances at Bayreuth, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and at all major opera stages around the world. "Helden" presents the exclusive Sony Classical artist in his signature role of Lohengrin, singing "In fernem Land" in addition to other arias by Wagner as well as selections by Mozart, Weber, Lortzing, Flotow and Korngold. Vogt is accompanied by the renowned orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, conducted by Peter Schneider.
"Klaus Florian Vogt [is] a Lohengrin with a perfect Tamino voice that somehow manages to laser its way through the role without forcing and who acts the part of the Knight-composer with grace." -- Robert Levine, ClassicsToday.com reviewing Vogt as Lohengrin, Opus Arte 964
"Klaus Forian Vogt is excellent in the role of Walther and probably the strongest singer in this production. He has an attractive voice and sufficient power to stand out in heavily scored passages. His Morgenlich leuchtend in rosigem Schein is beautifully sung..." -- Robert Cummings, MusicWeb International reviewing Vogt in Meistersinger, Opus Arte 1041
