Andreas Scholl (born 10 November 1967 in Eltville am Rhein) is a German countertenor widely regarded as one of the leading exponents of the voice type in the world. He grew up in a family of singers in Kiedrich, trained at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, and launched his international career in 1993 when he stepped in for an ailing René Jacobs in Paris. Over three decades he has recorded more than sixty albums - chiefly for Harmonia Mundi and Decca - and was the first countertenor ever to appear at the Last Night of the Proms. Since October 2019 he has held a professorship at the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg.
Harmonia Mundi released a six-disc limited compilation 'The Legendary Harmonia Mundi Recitals' summarizing thirty years of Scholl's collaboration with this label.
Andreas Scholl performed at three concerts in Ostrava and three in Znojmo as part of summer festivals in the Czech Republic.
Scholl released the album 'Invocazioni Mariane' on the Naïve label, dedicated to sacred music of the Neapolitan 18th century.
Scholl recorded the album 'De Profundis' together with soprano Sarah Traubel.
Since October 2019, Andreas Scholl has been working as a professor of singing at Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg.
