Helmut Krebs
(October 8, 1913, Dortmund - August 30, 2007, Berlin) was a distinguished
German operatic tenor, who sang a wide range of roles from baroque to
contemporary works.
Krebs studied at the Dortmund Conservatory and
the Berlin Musikhochschule with Paul Luhmann, and later privately with Max
Meili. He began singing in concert in 1937 and made his stage debut at the
Berlin Volksoper in 1938, but the war interrupted his career. He resumed his
career in 1945 in Düsseldorf, and joined the Berlin State Opera in 1947, where
he was to remain for some 40 years.
He quickly established himself in lyric roles
in the German and Italian such as Belmonte, Tamino, Idamante, Ferrando,
Nemorino, Ernesto, Fenton, David, Chateauneuf, he also enjoyed success in
German operettas, notably as Alfred in Die Fledermaus, etc.
He also took part in creation of contemporary
works such as Henze's König Hirsch, Arnold Schoenberg's Moses und
Aron, Carl Orff's Antigonae, also singing as Albert in Rolf
Liebermann's Leonore 40-45, the title role in Igor Stravinsky's Oedipus
Rex, and Pelléas in Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande.
He was also an admired recitalist of Lieder
and Bach's oratorios, especially noted as the Evangelist. In the 1950s, he
began exploring ancient music and became a noted interpreter of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo,
where his evenly controlled technique, wide vocal range, expressive declamation
and highly individual timbre were shown to great effect.
Krebs made guest appearances at the Munich
State Opera, the Vienna State Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Royal Opera House
in London and the Glyndebourne Festival. He began teachinng at the Berlin
Musikhochsule in 1957, and at the Frankfurt Musikhochschule in 1966. He was
made a Kammersanger in 1963.
О гобоисте Карле
Штайнсе я нашел только некролог:
Karl Steins,
longtime Principal Oboist of the Berlin Philharmonic and Honorary Professor at
the Hochschule der Künste (Conservatory of the Arts), died in Berlin on 22 April
at the age of 89. In 1949 he began his career as Principal Oboist of the
Berlin Philharmonic, where he remained until his retirement in 1981. In
1958 came his appointment to the Hochschule der Künste, and later to the
Universität der Künste (University of the Arts). As Honorary Professor of
Oboe, he taught numerous musicians in the 1960’s and 70’s, who have since made
their way to top orchestras throughout the world. In his day, he was
counted among the very best oboists in the world. His 1964 book "Oboe
Reed Making” remains a standard work on the subject to this day.
