ABOUT DANIEL JOHANSSEN
Commenting on a 2011 song recital given by Daniel Johannsen and Helmut Deutsch in Munich, the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” wrote: “This captivating musicianship is driven by good taste, literally representing pure art.” Born in Vienna in 1978 and a student of Robert Holl and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, art song performance is close to Daniel Johannsen’s heart. His repertoire comprises almost 400 settings in German, French, and English, which he has performed with piano partners such as Graham Johnson and Kristian Bezuidenhout. He studied at the University of Music, Vienna, and successfully participated in many competitions (Bach, Schumann, Mozart, Wigmore Hall), winning prizes at an early age. His performances have taken place in the big musical centers of the world. As a highly sought-after Bach-interpreter, he is a regular guest of “All of Bach” and the J.S. Bach Foundation St. Gallen. He performs at major festivals and has sung under the batons of Nikolaus Harnoncourt and René Jacobs, for example with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Daniel Johannsen has also established himself in opera, performing at the Vienna Volksoper, Munich’s Gärtnerplatztheater, and the Leipzig Opera.
