Hailed as "overwhelming from beginning to end" (Opera Magazine) and praised for his "powerful" and "resonant" voice with a "beautiful bronze tone" (Bachtrack), the German bass-baritone Andreas Wolf is one of the world's leading interpreters of the Baroque and Classical repertoire. Equally at home on the opera and concert stages, he is in demand worldwide.
