Precise vocal control, clear diction, intelligent musicality and an ability to get to the heart of everything he sings all ensure Christoph Pr\u00e9gardien\u2019s place among the world\u2019s foremost lyric tenors. Especially revered as a Lieder singer, he kicks off the 2019\/2020 season with concerts at the Schubertiade Hohenems and the Oxford Lieder Festival. He then performs in the US on tour with pianist Julius Drake, before the pair give joint recitals at London’s Wigmore Hall and in Madrid. In the spring he will tour with Le Concert Lorrain, followed by recitals in Hong Kong with Roger Vignoles and in Zurich with Hartmut H\u00f6ll and Udo Samel, among others, with additional appearances at the Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele and at the Konserthuset in Stockholm.
\nChristoph Pr\u00e9gardien regularly appears with renowned orchestras the world over. He has worked with the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, as well as the Boston and San Francisco Symphonies, along with conductors such as Barenboim, Metzmacher and Thielemann. His wide orchestral repertoire includes the great baroque, classical and Romantic oratorios and passions, as well as works from the 17th and 20th centuries. In opera, his roles have included, among others, Tamino, Almaviva, Fenton (Falstaff), Don Ottavio, Titus, Ulisse and Idomeneo.
\nHis extensive experience singing the Evangelist roles, together with his close working relationship with conductors such as Nagano, Chailly, Herreweghe, Harnoncourt, Luisi and Gardiner have provided him with the perfect basis for his increasing work conducting the works of Bach. Following the success of his conducting debut in 2012, leading Le Concert Lorrain and the Nederlands Kammerkoor in Bach\u2019s St. John\u2019s Passion, he has also become in-demand as a conductor of this repertoire. In 2015 he led Le Concert Lorrain and the Balthasar-Neumann Choir, this time in the St. Matthew\u2019s Passion, and in the following years returned to lead Le Concert Lorrain and the Dresdner Kammerchor on tour with Bach\u2019s Christmas Oratorio. In 2019 he made his debut leading a symphony orchestra, conducting the Duisburg Philharmonic in works including Mozart\u2019s Requiem, and also led the Collegium Vocale Gent at a celebration concert for Philippe Herreweghe\u2019s 70th birthday; together with the ensemble he will take part in a major European tour of Bach\u2019s Christmas Oratorio in December.
\nThe singer has recorded much of his repertoire on a discography of over 150 records, which have received awards such as the Orph\u00e9e d\u2019Or of the Acad\u00e9mie du Disque Lyrique, the Edison Award, the Cannes Classical Award and the Diapason d\u2019Or. For the label Challenge Classics he has recorded Schubert\u2019s Schwanengesang with Andreas Staier and Die sch\u00f6ne M\u00fcllerin with Michael Gees \u2013 selected as Editor\u2019s Choice by Gramophone magazine and awarded the MIDEM Record of the Year \u2013 followed by Hugo Wolf\u2019s Italienisches Liederbuch with Julia Kleiter, Between Life and Death, Wanderer and the Grammy-nominated Winterreise disc \u2013 all with Michael Gees \u2013 as well as Father and Son with his son Julian Pr\u00e9gardien. His Schubert CD Poetisches Tagebuch (with Julius Drake) was awarded the German Critics\u2019 Award 2016. His most recent CD releases include A Matter of Heart \u2013 songs for voice, horn and piano with Olivier Darbellay and Michael Gees \u2013 as well as a recording of passion cantatas by Telemann and Bach with the Vox Orchester for Sony (where he appears as a baritone for the first time), along with Auf den Fl\u00fcgeln des Gesanges with Cyprien Katsaris for Challenge, featuring Romantic songs and their piano transcriptions. In autumn 2019, also for Challenge, a new recording of Schumann’s Dichterliebe and Wagner’s Wesendonck Liedern (with Michael Gees) will be released.
\nTeaching remains an important part of Christoph Pr\u00e9gardien\u2019s musical life. Following many years at the Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik und Theater in Zurich, he gives masterclasses for young singers the world over and since 2004 has been a professor at the Academy of Music in Cologne.<\/p>\n
