About

Composers who dared to set the poetic works of Victor Hugo knew they had a challenge on their hands! Yet they managed to extract from this monument of literature the texts that would most benefit from their music, and between them created a multiple portrait: here is every facet of the poet, from the ethereal or sensual lover to the committed political figure, contemplating the world in verse of biting irony or Romantic lyricism. The young Konstantin Wolff has audibly taken great pleasure in tackling these subtly nuanced evocations.

Konstantin Wolff studies with Prof.Donald Litaker at the University of Music in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2004 he won first prize in the Mendelssohn Competition in Berlin and was chosen as an Elite Scholar of the German People. In 2005 he made his opera debut at L'Opéra de Lyon and was then invited by Les Arts Florissants to participate in the Academy for Young singers Le Jardin des Voix 2005 and to sing the bass part in Handel's L'Allegro, il penseroso ed il moderato on tour through Europe.
