Wolfgang Holzmair

Wolfgang Holzmair是奧地利男中音，特別是他的藝術歌曲演唱會很是成功。畢業(yè)后他在維也納音樂學院開始研究聲樂和戲劇藝術，并在1981年的國際聲樂比賽中獲得二等獎。Holzmair具有較高的中，重低音，雖然許多歌劇角色需要更沉重和較深的類型，但他曾在一個折衷的曲目中演出超過40個音符。1989年他非常成功的在威格摩音樂廳首次亮相，他的態(tài)度、智力、音樂、戲劇受到普遍贊賞。

奧地利男中音霍茲邁爾是1982年維也納音樂協(xié)會國際藝術歌唱大賽的冠軍得主，他的男中音跟傳統(tǒng)德奧男中音的低沉音色不同，而是偏輕且能唱到很高的音域，因此特別適合藝術歌曲演唱，尤其是他在1989年到英國舉行演唱會大獲成功后，更奠定他成為當代最受歡迎藝術歌曲男中音的地位。

霍茲邁爾對德語的掌握和表達的深入，再加上圓滑斷句，令他的德國藝術歌曲特別受到推崇。許多專業(yè)樂評人更很快就成為他的崇拜者，認為他是在新世代歌唱家中，少有能夠掌握詩歌節(jié)奏于演唱中的頂尖人物。
