|
Dulce Folgado Peixoto, Portugal 18 February 2014 Listening to White as Lilies performed by Andreas... I never find this kind of music because it always finds me... this song 663 |
|
Rio Henry, Canada 4 January 2014 Are there any plans to record a Scholl/Jaroussky CD ? what I have heard of their duets on YouTube is heartbreakingly beautiful. There should be a proper record of this stunning collaboration. Thx, Rio Henry 662 |

Natascha 10 November 2013  Happy birthday dear Andreas :) @)---->-------- 661 |

Claudia, Spain 9 November 2013 Muchas felicidades Sr. Scholl !!!!!! Brindo por Ud. y por su voz sublime que acompaña todos mis días. 660 |
|
Rebecca, Netherlands 30 October 2013 'Ynight - Classical in Club "Dark Soul"' - Dowland never 'sounded' so rockabilly - thank you Andreas, again a sympathetic initiative to bring early music to the masses :) It seems you sing with ever more gusto these days... 659 |
|
Seongae, South Korea 11 October 2013 Nowadays I am in very hard time. But with your songs, I can get rest. Thank you for your being here and there. Because I have big exam, I could not go to your concert on Sept. Someday I hope I can meet you in the concert. ^^ 658 |
|
Margareta Borg, Finland 16 July 2013 Thank You for singing so beautifully. You are the Best. Ombra mai fu in the Youtube takes me to the cloud nine every time. "The Best of..." will be my first Andreas Scholl CD. :) 657 |
|
Soni, Germany 6 July 2013 Was für eine Meisterschaft - und eine musikalische Offenbarung! Don´t stop the music ... 656 |
|
Jay Goodall, Australia 14 April 2013 I first heard the voice on the car radio about fifteen years ago, singing Ombra Mai Fu. I pulled the car up at the first opportunity to just listen. Never done that before, or since. He's not only one of the great singers of our time, but also one of the great musicians. I love the intelligence he brings to framing of words, cadences - and the sheer melodic power of his Bach singing. 655 |
|
Kristina Andström, Finland 10 March 2013 Greetings from wintry Finland! I wonder if it would be possible to product a new 'The countertenors'. I so would like to hear the 'Barcarole' of J. Offenbach sung by the countertenors. It would maybe be a bit 'drag' but I think it would be lovely. I have almost been able to hear it in my head for a long time. And what about the 'Duetto buffo di due gatti'! 654 |
|
Elena González, Spain 7 February 2013 Nothing more heart-moving than listening to that unique and special voice. Thanks for sharing your art. 653 |
|
Giacomo, Italy 5 January 2013 I love you, Mr Scholl!!!!You are fantastic!! 652 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 31 December 2012 Dear Andreas, May the New Year bring you and your wife and all your loved ones all kinds of blessings and happiness.And thank you once again for the blessing you are to me! Love, Rosalinda Ramos 651 |
|
Jakub Kukla, Czech Republic 27 December 2012 Thank you for this website. It has been very informative. As a singer, I have always been the most comfortable in soprano range, but have always been pushed into signing tenor and baritone. For the past two years I have been struggling with my voice, and have been getting very mixed advice from vocal coaches. This website, along interviews with Alfred Deller, confirm my belief that the "vocal training" that I am being pushed to is in fact hurting me more than it is helping, and I need to go back to just singing the music I love and that feels comfortable. At this point I just hope that I have not done any irreversible damage. Thank you Andreas for being so open and honest with your story. I hope to have the opportunity to hear you in person one day. God bless! 650 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico  24 December 2012 Dear Andreas, Thank you for the new world you have opened up for yourself and for us with "Wanderer" God Bless you and your loved one this Christmas and always. Love, Rosalinda Ramos 649 |

Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 10 November 2012 Dearest Angel, MANY HAPPY RETURNS! God bless you and your loved ones. And thank you for the joy you bring to my life every day. Very best wishes and love. 645 |
|
Nicole & Eric Sorro, France 9 November 2012 Just thank you, Mr Scholl, for the very nice, full of emotion, moment we spent yesterday in Paris - Salle Gaveau. You give us far much more than only music. 644 |
|
Carmine, Italy 14 June 2012 I would like to say a big thank you for your interpretation of Vivaldi Stabat Mater: divine! 643 |
|
Nikos, Greece 14 June 2012 UNIQUE! 642 |
|
Tyler Olson, USA 14 June 2012 I want to thank you for sharing your music with the world! I am new to the Countertenor world. I recently made the vocal change to Male Soprano! I am enjoying it very much, still learning control and such, but fun! Again thank you for being open about your voice! It gives me strength to push through societies mean words about a man singing so high. Thank you! 641 |
|
Matias, Chile 22 May 2012 The first thing I have to say is thank you, thank you for inspiring me every day I wake up and hear your music. Inspiring me as a future teacher, with dedication as you do when teaching. I would be very glad if you could visit my country here in South America in order to delight us with your magnificent voice. Thanks Again Mr Scholl. 640 |

Martha van der Gaag, Netherlands 26 February 2012 Beste Andreas Scholl, de nieuwe CD "Bach cantates met Kammerorchester Basel" gekocht. Prachtig!In het bijbehorende tekstboekje schrijft U over "Bach zingen"en de opnamen van 3 cantates voor alt,met Philippe Herreweghe in 1997. Deze CD met een "discman"om af te spelen brachten mijn zoons toen ik in 2005 6 weken in het ziekenhuis lag. Wat een vreugde en rust heeft deze muziek mij toen gebracht. Herzlichen Dank dafür. Liebe Grüsse... 632 |
|
Alexandra Fàbrega, Germany 8 February 2012 Wie lieb! Vielen Dank! 639 |
|
Ulrike, Germany 2 February 2012 Andreas, I am praying for you. God never forgets you. He's taking care of you - if you let him do ... Precious man! 638 |
|
Harry Schuring, Netherlands 12 January 2012 Het was erg leuk om je te zien bij Pauw en Witteman. Knap hoe je de soms naïeve vragen (bijna genant zelfs) zo rustig beantwoordde. De gast tegenover je had een betere attitude dan macho Jeroen Pauw. Ik vind het heerlijk om een topartiest op tv te zien die wars is van stardom. Sinds we vorig jaar (in Köln/Purcell) als publiek een liedje met je konden meezingen ben ik anders naar je gaan kijken. Ik verheug me op Bach in het Concertgebouw. 637 |
|
Lyubov, USA 6 January 2012 You turned my world around! Your singing is incredible ( it's a voice of soul) thank you. 636 |
|
Christiane, France 2 January 2012 Cher Andreas, Votre chant pur, délicat et profond est un miel pour l'âme. Merci pour ces moments d'infinie douceur. Je vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde auprès de celles et ceux que vous aimez. 635 |
|
Tuula Fai, USA 31 December 2011 Andreas, you sing the most moving version of Flow, my tears I have ever heard. Thank you! 634 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 30 December 2011 Dearest Angel, Thank you for the Bach Cantatas.They are sublime.May 2012 bring you blessings and joy! Love, Rosalinda Ramos 633 |
 Andreas Scholl, Germany 24 December 2011 Dear "Schollers" all over the world, I wish you a very happy Christmas. Stay healthy and happy ! I hope to see many of you again next year. - Andreas 632 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 23 December 2011 Dear Andreas, What a wonderful experience it was to see the HD performance from the Met!It would have been the cherry on top for this year,except that I have already got the Bach Cantatas!!!!Your singing is sublime.The altkantaten are superb,But I have no words for the new one.Only Scholl can top Scholl!The happiest Xmas to you and your loved ones. 631 |
|
Elizabeth Keggi, USA 11 December 2011 Your music brought tears to my eyes as I enjoyed Rodelinda Live in HD. Thank you so much for all your music. 630 |
|
Angela Jackson, UK 4 December 2011 I was lucky enough to be able to see the live broadcast from the New York Met of Rodelinda last night. Absolutely fabulous! What a wonderful performance. I do hope there will be a DVD sometime. Looking forward to the concert at Birmingham Town Hall on 1 February. Thank you for bringing so much pleasure from your magical performances. 629 |
|
Monika, USA 4 December 2011 Dearest Andreas, I am so glad you decided to become a "counter-tenorist" instead of a "counter-terrorist", the career you contemplated as a very young youth, according to your interview at the Met Opera in New York during intermission at the HD performance of Rodelinda. You made the right choice to help save, instead, the life in our souls with your beautiful voice and heartfelt interpretation of all you embrace with your singing. Danke schoen. 628 |
|
Christine, France 4 December 2011 Thank you for your performance yesterday evening in Rodelinda. 627 |
|
Claudia, Spain 10 November 2011 Muchas Felicidades Andreas!!! Los auténticos genios como usted no tienen edad, perduran en el tiempo. 626 |

Parco Avoc F. Culang, Philippines 9 November 2011 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. SCHOLL! I became a huge admirer of yours the moment I heard your singing. I can't seem to find any of your recordings here in the Philippines, but thanks to the internet, I can still enjoy the beauty of your craft. You are truly an amazing artist and you continue to fascinate me everytime I hear your angelic voice. You are a wonderful gift from God. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art to the world. And I hope, maybe someday, you'll come visit the Philippines and your Filipino admirers too. May the blessings of the Lord continue to shower unto you always Mr. Scholl!!! SALAMAT PO and MABUHAY!!! 625 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 9 November 2011 Dear Andreas, Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!Many,many happy returns! Thank you for all the beautiful music. "O Solitude" made my year.And "Rodelinda" will be the cherry on top. God bless you! 624 |
|
Jessica, USA 4 November 2011 This site is wonderful, real nice and fresh content, thought to stop by and appreciate you for the hardwork you guys have done here. Keep up the good work in the future too. 623 |
|
Elizabeth Browning, USA 29 October 2011 Please inform me of upcoming tours. 622 Note from webmaster: We do not have the resources to inform people personally. All the performance information we have is on the Concerts page. |
|
MIHYANG JAHNG, Republic of Korea 26 October 2011 Hello, Mr.Scholl. I have one word for you. "You are my King. You are my lord." Have a good day, sir. ^^ 621 |
|
Claas Henke, USA 12 October 2011 Great Purcell concert in Los Angeles! I was thinking how cool it would be if I could sing my little boys to sleep like that with "An Evening Hymn"... "O Solitude" also moved me very much, as did many of the other songs. I haven't been so relaxed at any concert before, Andreas's singing is so quiet and unstrained. 620 |
|
Volkan, Turkey 28 September 2011 Do not you think that you are neglecting Istanbul dear Scholl? Please come and give a concert asap :) 619 |
|
Marlena Deckert, Poland 24 August 2011 I'd like to thank Andreas Scholl for his voice and singing, the most important companion of my everyday life :) 618 |
|
Iwona, Poland 5 May 2011 Vielen Dank fÜr Czestochowa (Jasna Góra). Vivaldi phänomenal gesungen. Es war tödlich kalt. Ich bin voller Bewunderung für Ihre Leistung. Ich wünsche Ihnen alles Gute und Gesundheit. Noch einmal vielen Dank. 617 |
|
Hountsje, Netherlands 21 March 2011 I saw Andreas for the first time when he was performing in Bach's Matthew Passion in a church in Naarden in the Netherlands. I'm not sure but I think it was around 1990. Andreas was not famous yet but after hearing him sing Erbarme Dich it felt like the earth changed into heaven. From that moment on I tried to visit all of his concerts in the Netherlands and Belgium and bought all of his cds. What a blessing to have a heavenly voice like that. 616 |
|
Gary Robinson, Australia 16 March 2011 I saw Andreas perform in Perth last night. Wonderfull concert - and was particularly impressed with: 1. His passion for early music and his extensive research and commitment to context; and 2. His generosity of spirit - he was entirely comfortable leaving the stage and his accompanists performing solo pieces. No ego - real connection with the audience. 615 |
|
Rosemary Ewles, United Kingdom 7 March 2011 Just to say what enormous pleasure I'm continuing to experience from Andreas' CD 'Solitude'. Huge congratulations to him, and to the players and production team, for such a fresh and intuitive interpretation of the sound world of our dear Henry Purcell - one of the few great, native composers we can lay claim to in the UK. Thank you! 614 |
| NOTICE to the lady from Denmark: your private message of 16.2.2011 has been sent to Mr Scholl |
|
Rosemary Ewles, United Kingdom 2 March 2011 Everything you do is really interesting. But I'd like to flag in particular your wonderful 'Solitude' Purcell album. You entirely 'get' Purcell in a way that not all Anglo-Saxon performers do. And I love your Buxtehude! Hey Andreas, you might think Philippe Jaroussky has cornered the market, but, believe me you are the Daddy in all this! 613 |
|
Magdalen, Netherlands 26 February 2011 For years now I enjoy and love the voice of Andreas Scholl; there were and are many fine countertenors, but his voice is different, not only beautiful but it touches and moves me, makes me happy and gives great joy. Last week I went to his concert in Köln, it was the first time I heard him ‘in person’ and it was even more beautiful than I had hoped for. After the concert he signed albums and booklets and I noticed that not only his voice is warm and beautiful but he is as well. I thank Herr Scholl for a wonderful evening and for all his beautiful albums. 612 |
|
Iwona, Poland 17 February 2011 Ich bin wegen der Mai Konzert in Czestochowa glücklich. Es ist toll, die Stimme des Herrn hören leben. 603 |
|
Neil Jackson, Australia 14 February 2011 We are all privilaged to be alive and have the opportunity to listen to this great singers voice. 611 |
|
Pleun, Netherlands 30 January 2011 Hello, glad to find this guestbook. In 2007, Buxtehude Festwoche, we visited your concert in the Lübeck Dom. We were really impressed. Since then we are eager to know the extra song. I remember I forgot breathtaking. It is a long time ago, but perhaps you still know? Greetings from Holland. Sorry, but there is no
record of the encore at this performance. - Webmaster
UPDATE: Elke writes: I have a message for Pleun, Netherlands ,who signed the visitorsbook. The extra song was Der Liebe Macht herrscht Tag und Nacht by Adam Krieger. This song is on this CD. 610 |
|
Iwona, Poland 28 January 2011 Ich wünsche, dass Sie bei meiner Beerdigung sangen Genius cold song von Purcell oder Bach Agnus Dei… Oder auch nicht, denn ich konnte nicht bis zum Ende sterben… :-))) 609 |
|
Stuart King, UK 24 January 2011 Congratulations on your new CD O Solitude. The music does indeed my cares beguile. Your performance moves me to tears. 608 |
|
John Welham, UK 11 January 2011 Hi there: I am really looking forward to hearing Andreas in concert at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester on 18th January. I believe that he will also be siging copies of his new Purcell CD after the concert. Hope all goes well. 607 |
|
Gabrielle Noss, France 9 January 2011 Bonjour, J'aime beaucoup votre travail et je suis sous le charme de votre voix. 606 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 31 December 2010 Dearest Angel, A most happy 2011 to you and your loved ones. May the light of your art continue to brighten up our way! 605 |
|
Florence, France 15 December 2010 I have discovered Andreas Scholl amazing voice with the Bach Cantatas (direction by Christophe Coin). I had the grand pleasure to hear it again at the Théatre des Champs Elysée (Paris) in duo with Philippe Jaroussky on a Purcell programm : I don't think I will ever forget this magical concert ! Thank you so much for this extraodinary moments of pure happiness. It was a priviledge to be there. 604 |
|
Josee Corten, Belgium 12 December 2010 De hemel op aarde bestaat. Wat heb ik genoten in de BOZAR in Brussel! 603 |
|
Hubert, France 12 December 2010 Thank you so much for the wonderful concert in Theatre des Champs Elysées Paris last night. You and Philippe Jaroussky have amazing voices and all the Art of singing. 602 |
|
J H van Liefland, Netherlands 10 December 2010 After posting my comment I found the review of the same program in the Barbican in London. I was slightly puzzled, as my impression of the Brussels concert was quite the opposite. Both singers were at their best, but it was Scholl who, in the end, got the most enthusiastic applause. And rightly so, even though that might be read as a comment on Philippe Jaroussky, which it is not. Let's hope they continue to perform and record together. 601 |
|
J H van Liefland, Netherlands 10 December 2010 On 9 Dcember 2010 we saw and heard Andreas Scholl perform in Brussels, with Philippe Jaroussky and his group Artaserse. It was a program of Purcell music and it was magic, the best concert I have heard in the last 30 years (and I have heard a lot). I hope that Andreas Scholl and Philippe Jaroussky, who both have such wonderful careers, will manage to find a way to record and perform together regularly. As sublime as they are apart, together they can achieve something that neither will ever be able to do alone. 600 |
|
Alexandra Coghlan, UK 8 December 2010 First London review of Scholl and Jaroussky: http://bit.ly/foGcql 599 |
|
Gunnar Wallschlaeger, USA 3 December 2010 I am new to your music, just purchased one of your albums through Apple. Very nice. 598 |
|
Monique Vivian, Brazil 27 November 2010 Comment allez vous, M. Scholl? Nous toujour espérons de vous voir ici, au Brésil, pour nous montrer votre voix en direct. 597 |
|
Alexandra Fàbrega, Germany 10 November 2010 Alles Gute und Beste zum Geburtstag! Viel Glück und Freude wünsche ich Ihnen für das beginnende Lebensjahr! 596 |
|
Parco, Philippines 10 November 2010 I fell in love with your voice the first time I heard it. It really moved me... I was captivated by its beauty, clarity, and power... I am in the medical field but my heart belongs to music and I would really like to thank you for the joy you're giving my heart and soul everytime I listen to you... May you continue to inspire us with your heaven-sent gift... your lovely singing... I wish you a happy birthday and may God continue to bless you Mr. Scholl! SALAMAT PO and MABUHAY! 595 |
|
Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 10 November 2010 Dearest Angel, Many,many happy returns of the day!!!! And thank you for the joy you bring to my life every day.And...could we have more Wolkenstein? 594 |
|
Christel Kollmann, Germany 10 November 2010 Lieber Andreas Scholl, ich gratuliere Ihnen herzlich zum Geburtstag. Seit gestern erfreue ich mich an Ihrer neuen CD. Bisher kannte ich nicht viel von Henry Purcell, aber ich finde die Songs faszinierend, die Sie für Ihr Album ausgewählt haben. DANKE. 593 |
|
Jill, UK 10 November 2010 Warm greetings on your birthday, Andreas. Have a great day, and may the coming year bring you good things. 592 |
|
Claudia, Spain 9 November 2010 Muchas Felicidades Andreas!!! Es usted Insuperable. Gracias.. 591 |
|
Sabine, Austria 1 October 2010 Thank you for two enchanting concerts in Zurich - it's rare to hear you in such intimate settings nowadays and hope your cold has not materialised! I'm sorry I could only stay for one day of the masterclass but I found it tremendously interesting. 590 |
|
Anne, France 28 September 2010 Nul besoin de connaitre la musique pour ressentir l'emotion ...la pureté de la voix, la sobriété de l'interpretation...pour ma part , aucun#e# autre ne vous égale. Je suis touchée par le son autant que par le silence d'une église. MERCI. 589 |
|
Thea Schmacke, Australia 9 September 2010 What a great site to honour a great artist. I love Andreas Scholl's voice and would love to see him live. 588 |
|
Mary, China 16 August 2010 Hello, dear Mr Scholl, I am a huge fan of yours and I am from China.I love your angelic and pure voice which can always make me feel calm and peaceful.I especially love the Arias for Senesino.Thank you so much for your contribution to singing! 587 |
|
Lyndel Bailey, Jamaica 8 August 2010 I love Andreas Scholl's voice and admire his musicianship. A joy to listen to! 586 |
|
Luciano Landi, Italy 26 July 2010 It's a long time that your voice let my soul fly in that great music. Not a recent work but a news for me: Wayfaring Stranger. Extraordinary! Life is beautiful with your voice! 585 |
|
Karin, Sweden 15 July 2010 I would so like Mr Scholl to record Fairest Isle (and preferably also Down by the salley gardens and more lovely "old" British songs) as he sang it in Albert Hall in 2005, with guitar accompaniment, as well as with the Accademia Bizantina as planned. The delicacy of such a performance, first this single (and singular) voice with a single instrument, and then an amazingly subdued choir and orchestra, is unsurpassable. 584 |
|
Alfredo Boso, Italy 16 June 2010 It is a honour to have been born on the same day of the most energic countertenor alive. Mr Scholl is one of the best countertenors alive. 583 |
|
Sabeth, Netherlands 14 June 2010 Sehr geehrter Herr Scholl, Da war ich am 31. Mai im Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, voller Erwartung .... und dann kam die Enttäuschung. Sie waren kaum zu hören und zu verstehen. Seit diesen Abend habe ich viele Aufnahmen von Ihnen gehört, alle 'live'. Die waren allen SUPER!!!! Was was los in Amsterdam? Alles Liebe und Gute, Sabeth 582 |
|
Andrea, Italy 8 June 2010 Complimenti per la tua voce ela splendida carriera,spero di potrti vedere dal vivo. 581 |
|
Elizabeth Ochoa, Peru 31 May 2010 Dear Andreas, Your voice soothes my mind, there are not many words. The beauty is all-encompassing, and you're beautiful in every way. I love listening to "Flow my tears" from your lips. No meeting with delightful countertenor voice. In Peru we have a well-known tenor, Diego Flores. Good for him, but I prefer to listen to you. I love your voice ... 580 |
|
Irene Holm, Denmark 29 May 2010 Hey Andreas. Saw and heard you in Denmark. When will you be in the Met? Greetings, Irene 579 |
|
Katalin Fehér, Hungary 13 May 2010 Dear Mr. Scholl, We were in your recital on 11th of May in Budapest. That was really very great experience for us, for me and for my 8 years old daughter, Lili. She was very glad to see and hear you. As I have told you after the recital, I sent the photos of her gift-giving for you to Mr. Cole's e-mail addresse. Thank you for your kindness and for all your work. We wish you much energy to your singing in the future as well! We hope, you'll come again to Budapest. Your voice is the best countertenor voice in the world for us. Thank you again and again... 578 |
|
Zoli, Hungary 11 May 2010 At last the people of Budapest have heard, seen. On it was time for a little visit to our country! We warmly welcome back! (It was a brilliant aria from Giulio Cesare "The encore was even better). 577 |
|
Laura-Jane Seagrave, UK 9 May 2010 You must be pleased at the success of this latest collaboration with Kathleen, Crawford and Shield of Harmony. I'd like to say how relieved and appreciative everyone at the London concert was at your efforts to get to London. Thanks to you all for a great evening. I'm hoping to get to some of your concerts outside of the UK this year. I hope that your concert with Philippe Jaroussky will be recorded and released as a CD in case I don't get to see it in person. I've waited a long time to see you sing with either him or David Daniels and know it will be amazing. 576 |
|
Jose Antonio, Spain 3 May 2010 Su voz es maravillosa, su forma de cantar enternecedora, su "Dove sei" de Rodelinda, una maravilla que no me canso de escuchar, se podria decir que lo amo señor Scholl????? Usted y su voz son indispensables en mi vida, me la hacen mas llevadera y por eso le estare eternamente agradecido. 575 |
|
Katalin Fehér, Hungary 28 April 2010 Dear Mr. Scholl, I have a 8 years old daughter, Lili, who's so great fan of You, like me. We have tickets for your concert in Hungary on 11th of May. I want to know if after the concert can we meet with You to give a little gift made by my daughter especially for You. Is it possible, or You want to make your "decrescendo" in your dressing room alone? Thank You very much: Katalin Fehér and my daughter, Lili. 574 |
|
Laura-Jane Seagrave, UK 27 April 2010 Wolkenstein, the recording and the concert, were superb. Another triumph. I'd also like to thank you for being so generous with your time and talking to us afterwards. Just like you and very much appreciated. I was very touched by the sleevenotes on the Wolkenstein cd about your father and sister and am so very sorry. However, I'm sure they both would have been very proud of you. You are a sincere and lovely person. 573 |
|
Sabeth, Netherlands 26 April 2010 Sehr geehrte Herr Scholl, Leider war ich noch nie in der Lage Sie 'live' zu hören. Endlich ist es so weit, am 31. Mai in Amsterdam. Wie ich mich freue! Jetzt schon weiss ich das es einen Festtag sein wird. Danke schön für viele Stunden Genuss! Alles Gute. 572 |
|
Sarah, UK 23 April 2010 Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Andreas Scholl and the Shield of Harmony for struggling through the travel chaos this week and getting to the Barbican Hall in time. It was worth it! What a glorious voice and what a marvellous stage presence Herr Scholl has. 571 |
|
Lyn Dekker, UK 20 April 2010 I just wanted to thank you for making that great effort to appear at the Barbican. I hope the journey wasn't too tiring. You sang beautifully and I hope you will record more with Kathleen,your voices together are wonderful. 570 |
|
Kristina Andström, Finland 2 April 2010 Thank you Andreas, Your angel voice has been a consolation for me in a great sorrow. 569 |
|
Seul Gi, Republic of Korea 28 March 2010 Beautiful voice. 568 |
|
Rob Voets, Netherlands 23 March 2010 Dear Andreas, As a true fan of the beautiful music made by Bach I remembered hearing your phenominal voice in the Mattheuspassion for the first time.I was completely flabbergasted... never experienced such a thing before.Your voice really goes right to my heart!! No words can describe enough what your voice does to people... thank you so much!! 567 |
|
Rev. Bernard Paetzold, Canada 23 March 2010 It is a very interesting journey through the career of an exceedingly gifted counter-tenor. Thank you for the privilege. Andreas Scholl is truly an outstanding artist, whose musical output is nothing short of the fantastic. 566 |
|
Vivian van der Biezen, Aruba, Dutch Caribbean 18 March 2010 Andreas, your voice is a true inspiration. I can feel that your beginnings were in church music, I love that. I am a mezzo soprano, and it is recently that I discovered you and your unique voice on U Tube. I am so glad I did! 565 |
|
Sam Albion, UK 17 March 2010 Found Andreas courtesy of YouTube- not into classical music myself - I'm a prog rock fan, but Andreas' voice is superb! Well done lad! I wonder how long it takes to be this good? 564 |
|
Aye Jailangka, Switzerland 4 March 2010 I saw him on the stage once and it was the best opera I've seen in my whole life. Thank you M. Scholl. PS - could you sing Happy Birthday for me? 563 |
|
Einsteinway, China 4 March 2010 Always loved to wander in this website. Abundant info. I particularly like the music jokes part. They are true humour. Like many other Schöllers, or Scholl fans, I was also first amazed by Scholl's voice immensely, (that very stunning clear and pure voice, the music was lovely, too. But the voice just stood out, leading to more of my later exploration into Countertenor and the music that I hardly took time to listen to. Soon he's coming to our city on tour, finally, a chance to hear his live concert. The design of the website is simple, elegant, and gives peopele the feeling of quietness and cool down. I hope to see more of those misc. updates as well. 562 |

Elisabeth, Panama 14 December 2009 Regarding the concert in Rotterdam: Full marks for dedication and courage. However, the performance itself left me puzzled. Someone was apparently not satisfied with the original concert. And I can't imagine why. It was so wonderful. With kind regards, 549 Carlos M Aguayo, USA 4 December 2009 I just love Baroque Opera and I have heard Giulio Cesare many times, I have my self 3 productions and yet I have never heard of Mr Scholl, just listened to Se in fiorito and tears rolled down my eyes, hadn't heard a Cesare as heavenly as him. Last night he just became my favorite Countertenor. 548 Dirk Jan Ketting, Netherlands 27 November 2009 Geachte heer Andreas Scholl Een reuze eer dat ik u en de uwen de afgelopen dagen heb mogen vervoeren met mijn taxi, ik hoop dat alles naar wens is gegaan voor het te geven concert in de laurenskerk aanstaande dinsdag wens ik u alvast veel plezier met de uitvoering hiervan en hoop dat ik de generale repetitie mag bijwonen tot morgen 0930 uur DJ Ketting taxi chauffeur 547 Angel, Spain 24 November 2009 Dear Sir, The Karl-Ernst Schröder recostructed WEISS concertant style with Mr. Barto is the best maravillous CD on the world. Please i need the pdf with the tablature recostruction. Scuse me spanish. Thans very much 546 Anette Gulbrandsen, Norway 12 November 2009 This page is quite nice, I hope all the info is accurate :) I got into classical singing about 7 years ago, after singing in/for bands, using neutral sound-colour. I found out that I am a deep alto/contralto, and there are not many around. I fell in love with baroque, and then I heard Andreas Scholl. I do sing in a church-choir,and it gives me much pleasure, since we often do Gregorian, bBroque and everything in between. Please visit our myspace-account; www.myspace.com/gamleakerkirkekor. I find it very pleasant to listen to Mr.Scholl, and I just saw and heard him perform here in Oslo. It was pure bliss, and I hope I get to meet him/hear him again. He seemed very humble and nice, and was very pleasant. His girlfriend is a lucky woman. Bless, Anette xxx 545 Claudia, Spain 9 November 2009 Feliz Cumpleaños Andreas!!!! Eres MAGNIFICO, GENIAL, un autèntico ARTISTA. 544 Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 9 November 2009 Dearest Andreas, Herzlichen Gluckwunsch zum Geburstag!!!! Thank you for another glorious year of your music.May God bless you as you bless us with your art! 543 Portia, UK 1 November 2009 I love Andreas Scholl and his music! Could you please give me his email address? I'm 12. 542 Reinhold Mahler, USA 16 October 2009 I am surprised to see no reaction to your recent concerts at Symphony Hall in Boston. A standing ovation and nobody found the way to your website. Thank you for another memorable concert in Boston, especially for Haendel's Dall’ondoso periglio. By the way we run a Bed and Breakfast in town - whenever you come back we would love to welcome you at Encore B&B (www.encorebandb.com) Das ganze haette ich natuelich auch in deutsch schreiben koennen (kommt mir gerade zum Bewusstsein). 541 Luis Fernando Mejía, Colombia 27 September 2009 Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for coming to Colombia with Schola Cantorum Basiliensis to teach the masterclasses. Although I wasn't an active singer there, I was an observer in the classes to the singers and it was pretty awesome the way you communicated them your passion for ancient music. Your correction was very kind and under your suggestions the singers become capable of expressing and being free without disregarding what is written in music. Such an experience. All the best wishes in your career. 540 Pablo Domene, Mexico 24 September 2009 I wanted to let you know that your voice is a great inspiration for me, I'm a countertenor as well, I'm 19 years old and I think your singing is beautifull, and I hope you will come to Mexico someday, or I will see you preform somewhere. 539 Luca D'Alessandro, Italy 19 September 2009 Hi Great Andreas, Your voice is sublime, expressive, rich of shades, moving until tears. When I hear you singing I feel Heaven inside my heart and soul...I heard today your Ombra mai fu of Haendel and I cried for joy all the time... Thank you for giving me these emotions. Your great sensitivity can be read on your face: your eyes are so clear and bright...I think you are not just a great artist but also a lovable person... Warmest regards from Italy 538 Katarzyna Maliszewska, Poland 18 September 2009 Dear Andreas, Thank you for the wonderful concerts in Wroclaw. Your rendition of the compositions by Oswald von Wolkenstein changed the City Hall into a medieval castle where the poet tells the stories of his adventurous life. The music, though relatively not too wide known, proved that the human emotions remain unchanged throughout the centuries and countries. In medieval times, renessaince, in our millennium, in Germany, England, Scotland, Poland, people experience the same joy and sadness, happy and unrequited love. I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to listen to your singing and to meet you personally after both concerts. You're not only a brilliant singer, but a warm, gentle and kind person, without even a bit of star-like pomposity, that is not so rare among other artists. I'm looking forward to see your concerts again, and I hope I won't have to wait too long. P.S.: Beauty, since you so much desire became one of my favourite pieces. Thank you – it was an unforgettable moment. :) 537 E, Poland 15 September 2009 It was so exciting to see you Mr Scholl and hear your voice in Wroclaw. Now... I can die... 536 Sharkphone, China 6 September 2009 I've heard your voice in the album The Voice. Very beautiful and moving.Your voice has a magical power that can erase all the pain in the world. Thank you for bring us such peaceful world of music. 535 Francesca, Italy 28 August 2009 Hello Andreas, I love baroque music, your voice is special. I live in Sardinia, on Sassari (Italy), I want know other of baroque music, I'm italian and I not speak perfectly Inglish, sorry. I love Haendel and his operas, I love Vivaldi, on special way Nisi Dominus, Stabat Mater, Semiramide, Orlando Furioso. I love also Caldara, Senesino and other. Ciao Andreas, io amo la musica barocca, la tua voce è speciale. Vivo in Sardegna, a Sassari(Italia), voglio sapere altro sulla musica barocca. Sono italiana e non parlo perfettamente l'inglese, scusa. Important: Se non ti infastidisce potresti contattarmi al mio indirizzo di posta elettronica "eliosmira@alice.it", sempre se leggi il mio messaggio. Credo di essere l'unica nella mia regione a conoscerti, ma conoscerti come pochi. Sono certa che solo tu, non italiano, puoi darmi preziose informazioni o indicazioni sul periodo musicale barocco perchè sento che prendi molto sul serio la musica e la sua storia, so che apprezzi i musicisti Italiani del barocco come un Italiano vero non saprebbe fare. 534 Maha, France 17 August 2009 Hello Andreas , I am big fan of your voice, you are special singer, wonderful style of counter tenor, any way I heard you will give concert with Philippe Jaroussky this year, is this concert will perform again in london and Paris or not, also I wish to give concerts in Lebanon, Dubai, Egypt too also with Philippe Jaroussky. 323 Beata und Jacek Pietkiewicz. Poland 16 August 2009 Lieber Andreas, Wir erlauben uns so anzufangen, weil Du bei uns zuhause seit gut einigen (schon neun?) Jahren fast jeden Abend ein Stammgast, ja schon ein Familienmitglied bist. Zu Deinen CD’s zu gelangen war in Polen nicht einfach. Dank der grossen Freundlichkeit meiner deutschen Kollegin haben wir die CD’s bei amazon.de gekauft, sie hat sie anschliessend dem LKW-Fahrer ins Fahrerhaus gegeben, er hat die CD’s (immer mit Erfolg!) durch die Grenze geschmuggelt und mir ins Buero mitgebracht. Unser grosser Wunsch war immer, Dich live zu erleben. Wir koennten zwar mal ins Ausland zu einem Deiner Konzerte fahren, aber mit drei kleinen Kindern ist es nicht so einfach gerade. Wir glaubten jedoch die ganze Zeit, dass unser Wunsch sich irgendwann verwirklichen wird. Und nun koennen wir bestaetigen: Es stimmt, dass der Glaube die Berge versetzen kann. Diesmal war der Glaube so gross, dass unser Wunsch sich doppelt verwirklichen wird! Am 6. und 8. September im Breslauer Rathaus wird es der Fall sein. Unsere drei Toechter (5, 8 und 12) gehen natuerlich mit. Die Eintrittskarten bewahren wir schon in dem Safe auf. Lieber Andreas, wir bedanken uns bei Dir fuer die vielen schoenen Abende bei uns zuhause. Auch nach einem schwierigen Tag im Buero war der Abend dann immer gemuetlich.Wir danken fuer die wunderbare Musik und bitten um mehr. In immer ungeduldiger Erwartung von zwei Breslauer Konzerten Viele liebe Gruesse aus Breslau. 532 Emmanuelle, France 9 August 2009 Dear Andreas, I attended your recital at the Beaune festival in July and I enjoyed discovering the mental world of Wolkenstein with its honest account of humane fragility, joys and sorrows. The duet with Kathleen Dineen on Nu rue mit sorgen was very moving and beautiful like a perfect helix of intertwined sounds and emotions. Thanks again for the beauty of this moment. 532 Laura Jane Seagrave, UK 4 August 2009 Andreas, Thanks so much for a wonderful performance at the RAH in Partenope! I was looking forward to it so so much and you and your ensemble of singers did not disappoint! The purity and sweetness of your voice and, as usual, your excellent characterisation was a delight. I'm so sorry that I didn't have the opportunity to congratulate you after the performance and get the chance to ask about your move and future projects. If I can, I'm going to try and see you again asap. Thanks for a great night. I'm seeing a couple of Handel operas in the next month or so and try to get to performances whenever I can - it is thanks to you that my interest grew outside grand opera! Have much more to say, but better leave it there! Bye. 531 Elvira Meiboom, Netherlands 1 August 2009 Not only have I got tickets for December in R'dam, but also front row seats for the concert in May 2010 in Amsterdam! Now don't think please that i'm a Dutch stalker... i'm ehhhh not... really... believe me... haha! 530 Marianne, Germany 21 June 2009 Leber Andreas Scholl, Vielen Dank für das "Wolkenstein"-Konzert in Dortmund. Ihr Gesang, das Ensemble, die Atmosphäre in der Reinoldikirche war überirdisch. Ich freue mich auf Ihr Konzert in Köln. 529 Zilly, Germany 21 June 2009 Ich liebe Ihre Interpretation des Xerxes (Ombra ma fui)! Einfach fantastisch. Danke für diese wundervolle Musik! 528 Maureen Fox, Ireland 8 June 2009 My daughter sent me the CD from the Metropolita Opera shop NY for my birthday. The best gift I've ever received. I've never heard a voice like that. I was moved to tears. He is wonderful. 527-2 Elke, Germany 5 June 2009 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Ich bin immer noch ganz beeindruckt von dem "Wolkenstein"-Konzert in Dortmund. Ihre Darbietung, das Ensemble, die Atmosphäre in der Reinoldikirche - einfach stimmig und sehr berührend. Vielen Dank für das Signieren des Plakates. 527 Cansu Gulgor, Turkey 23 May 2009 Dear Andreas, please come to Turkey again! I want to listen to your brilliant voice live! 526 Monika, USA 20 May 2009 I enjoy Andreas' singing and also reading his interviews. It must be difficult to be a famous artist and put so much of oneself in one's work. Some critics can be very snide and unfair, and fans get so worked up about their favorite singers or interpretations that some can become very hostile and unpleasant. I imagine it is difficult to be strong enough to take all that, yet remain sensitive so as to be able to convey such varied emotions as Andreas' repertoire requires. But he seems sensible enough to take everything--the criticism and the adulation--in his stride. I consider him a model of professionalism and good sense. A good person to learn from. Thank you for this website, which allows us to find out about his concert schedule. I've already attended one of his concerts and hope to have the pleasure again in the future. 525 Elvira Meiboom, Netherlands 15 May 2009 Dear Andreas, I just wanted to let you know, that I am calling for over an hour now for tickets for your concert in Rotterdam, December first 2009. The whole website is closed and there are over 30 waiting people on the phone! This is terrible.... In 4 years I never missed a concert that you gave in Holland. I hope that it is not sold out yet... 524 Elina, Russia 28 April 2009 Yekaterinburg... just thank God for your voice ;) 523 Amanda, USA 28 April 2009 I attended the concert last Sunday at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley and was thrilled to see you loitering in the courtyard before the show. The performance was wonderful and I especially enjoyed Vivi Tiranno. 522 Kelsy Dickensen, USA 28 April 2009 Saw you yesterday in Berkeley, it was a million times better than hearing a recording, I guess you were really tired after the show, but we just had to stop you to say hi. :) Come to Utah next time!!!! 521 Peter, Barbados 26 April 2009 Andreas voice is out of this universe...:) He is the real reincarnation of the great Senesino!! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!!! Händel would adore you if he could hear you. 520 Simon, USA 25 April 2009 Andreas, Please look after your voice. You sound tired on Il Duello Amoroso CD. Love. Simon 519 Christina Jonas, Australia 21 April 2009 Thank you for continuing to sing for us all to indulge and revel in the splendour of your beautiful tone and the meaning of each note you sing.. Andreas, I am so very much in love with you! 518 Dominic Harper, UK 9 April 2009 I've been a fan for some years now and have many CDs and seen Andreas once at the Royal Albert Hall and once at the Wigmore Hall, but I now live in Preston rather than London so not many chances to see live. Would love some recordings on vinyl as it is so much better than cd!! Regards Dominic. 517 Liuba, Russia 31 March 2009 J'ai au touts les discs, maestro. C'ai ete mon reve voir le concert. Et menteunent j'ai ecoute deux conserts en France. Je n'est pas de mots. Je me suis comblee. C'ai ete genial! Merci beaucoup! 516 Els, Netherlands 23 March 2009 Dear Andreas, Thanks for the wonderful concert you gave on March 21 in Amsterdam. Greetings from Els. 515 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 11 March 2009 Je vois que pour 2010 premièrement tu nous reviens a Bruxelles et avec Philippe Jaroussky! Trop cool! Et en plus je remarque que tu as un concert a Salsbourg avec mister René Jacobs himself depuis le temps que tes fans attendaient cela..(que j'adore comme chanteur aussi en vieux..; baroqueux que je suis!) plein de succès et soit heureux andreas vraiment! Fabrice, un grand fan belge. 514 Marisa, Portugal 10 March 2009 Dear Andreas, For me you are like a dream! Your voice is extraordinary! Nobody sings Bach like you! Your interpretation is the best! I really love you! Thank you! Best wishes. 513 Elaine, United Kingdom 27 February 2009 I have just viewed the new YouTube video of I Loved a Lass. Thank you so much for raising my spirits - just having listened to the promotional tracks of a friend's daughter who is a pop singer and alas by God can't sing a note. Thanks for putting everything back just as it should be. 512 Dunja, USA 12 February 2009 Hi Andreas, Habe mal wieder hier durchgestoebert...You really amaze me! War schoen dich in New York zu sehen... bis im Mai dann! Dunja 511 Nadya, Russia 28 January 2009 Lieber Andreas! Hätte ich an Engeln geglaubt, würde ich denken daß sie genau so singen...Danke! 510 Christoph Dohrmann, Germany 27 January 2009 In the anniversary year for Handel and Senesino, Andreas Scholl should give some concerts with arias which were especially written for Senesino, as well as concerts in which some of the known differences of historic castrati Senesino/Farinelli/Carestini et aliae can be approached by showing how different singing and ornamentation styles were and can still be! I think Scholl has that in singing coloratura passages and runs which was called "cantar granito" in the 18th century. Best wishes! 509 Maria la Placa. Spain 21 January 2009 This is my tribute for Andreas Scholl, my work, because he inspires me when I paint. www.marialaplaca.com 508 Simone Kliegelhöfer, Germany 18 January 2009 Sie haben eine wundervolle Stimme. Sie geht direkt ins Herz und lässt die Seele schweben. 507 Vulkan 17 January 2009 Dear Andreas, I will come to your concert in London Barbican on 29 March 09 and i need a favor from you, can you add Filiae Maestae Jerusalem to your repertoire? No matter if you put Locatelli out. Hehe I am just kidding. But think about it... seriously... 506 Sebastian Koch 14 January 2009 In der Hoffnung, dass Andreas Scholl meine Worte liest: Danke! Danke für die harte Arbeit, für die Proben, die "schlechten Tage", die Du bewältigt hast, danke, dass Du es durchgezogen und uns Deine Stimme bewahrt hast, Du gehörst neben Altbundeskanzler Helmut Schmitt direkt an 2.Stelle derer Menschen, die ich in meinem Leben kennenlernen möchte!!! Wunderbar! Falls Du einen Pianisten brauchst - jeder Zeit! 505 John, Mexico 8 January 2009 Have you ever consider to come to perform to México? and maybe sing with some Mexican Child Chorus?? That´d be great!! 504 Nancy, Spain 7 January 2009 Cher Andreas, votre voix m'enchante, me berce et je m'envole. Je suis envoûtée. 503 Muse-N, Finland 4 January 2009 Dear Andreas! Your voice is really my beloved voice ... I wish you a best new year to, with a lot of rainbows in the sky. 502 Sebastian, Australia 4 January 2009 Andreas, please do come to Australia. 501 Kenyo Rossas, Brazil 30 December 2008 Caro Sr Scholl, SUA VOZ É MÁGICA, MAGNÍFICA, IMPRESSIONANTE,FASCINANTE! PARABÉNS. 500 Adewuyi Tope, Nigeria 27 December 2008 YOU INSPIRE ME TO SING BETTER THAN U. HOPE TO SING WITH U ONE DAY. 499 Lou, France 26 December 2008 Thank you very much for this website and... the libretto of Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo! 498 Christmas Day, 2008 Merry Christmas, Andreas, from Schollers everywhere. 497 Olivia, Romania 24 December 2008 An amazing voice..It's a pleasure to listen to it. 496 Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 24 December 2008 Dear Andreas, Ein frohes und besinnliches Weihnachtsfest!!!!! 495 Jamie Gale, Spain 8 December 2008 My husband is speechless when listening to your superb voice and always picks out the Vivaldi Stabat Mater CD to relax with. 494 Elvira, Netherlands 16 November 2008 Hello Andreas! Yesterday I saw you again in Rotterdam. Amazing how you manage to make every perfomance your best one! And how fun it was to see you next to Yannick.. very busy guy isn't he ;-) In March I will see you again in Amsterdam. Looking forward to a concert with just you! Thank you for a lovely evening again! 493 Rosalinda Ramos, Maxico 10 November 2008 Many happiest returns of your birthday! And a big thank you for:
And for Orlando, whose wonderful music I would never have known about, but for you. God bless you, Angel of Music! 492 Julia, Lithuania 10 November 2008 Dear Andreas, I wish you a happy birthday and many, many happy returns of the day! You are a wonderful, bright, unbelievably talented person. Thank you for your art, for the joy it brings to us! Wish you all the best on this day and for all your life. 491 Margareth, Netherlands 10 November 2008 Lieve Andreas, Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag en nog heel veel gezonde succesvolle muzikale jaren gewenst.

Thank you for the wonderful music, and may the coming year bring you everything you wish for, professionally and personally. 486 Angelina Mikkelsen, Denmark 25 October 2008 Thank you for a breathtaking experience last night as I heard Partenope in Copenhagen. This is my best opera experience ever. During the concert I both cried, laughed and rediscovered the true meaning of splendid opera. I look foreward hearing you again. Sincerely and best wishes for the future. 485 Hortensia, Spain 16 October 2008 Thanks for your wonderful work. Although I see a man: with big hands, big head, and two meters tall; I hear as if a girl,a friend of mine, echoed my female voice. And I feel deeply understood. Your way of singing lets me to reconcile myself to men, to life, to the world. 484 Elke, Germany 13 October 2008 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Die Idee mit den Partenope-Probenvideos ist klasse. Ich freue mich schon auf die DVD mit der Aufführung. Auch das Making of von Crystal Tears ist sehr sehenswert. Ihre natürliche, unkomplizierte Art macht Sie wirklich supersympathisch. Hatte das Glück, dieses Jahr Ihre Konzerte in Dresden zu erleben - fantastisch. Führen Ihre Konzertreisen Sie auch mal wieder nach Norddeutschland? Hamburg zum Beispiel wäre toll :-) Alles Gute für Sie 483 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 9 October 2008 Dieu te garde! Bel ange... vivement le 05/12/2008 au BOZAR à Bruxelles! Eternal source light of divine! Fabrice - un grand fan Belge 482 Alejandro Galaviz, USA 6 October 2008 Mr Scholl, You are an inspiration to me to explore the beauty of being a counter tenor and to not be afraid of it. Thank you. 481 Edward O'Donnell Jr, USA 5 October 2008 I wanted to thank Mr. Scholl for the lovely voice and CDs. My mom (Duck Hee O'Donnell) is a huge fan and will be travelling to see him again in Denmark. She's a talented cello teacher in the Washington D.C. region with over 50 students. She's turned us onto him. :-) 480 Rita, Italy 26 September 2008 Mr Scholl, I'd love to have you performing here in Rome. Best wishes. 479 Andrés Soto, Costa Rica 14 September 2008 Thanks... you´re a like an Angel, when I listen you, your voice carries me out of this world... your voice is not heard... I live. Thanks, thanks, from my heart... 478 Nancy Polston's sister, Helen, in San Diego, USA 13 September 2008 Beautiful version of Arirang. Nancy Polston's 70-year old mom wanted you to know that, more importantly, she is a cello teacher and enjoys sharing with her 40+ students her passion for the countertenor voice. They all know about Mr. Scholl and like to tease her about her little crush on him. I am traveling from San Diego and taking my aunt up to Berkeley and meeting my parents there for the April 2009 concert. We are looking forward to it! Look for the two little Korean ladies (my mom and aunt). 477 Claire, USA 9 September 2008 I just discovered Andreas over the summer, when I searched for Flow, my tears on YouTube. He has an absolutely gorgeous, pure voice, that I try to emulate every day. I hope to see him in California next year. Thank you for maintaining this site! 476 Tracey Griffin, Australia 4 September 2008 Please come back to Melbourne Australia soon. x 475 Sybrand, Netherlands 31 August 2008 En stem als een droom.Iets om helemaal stil van te worden. Groeten. 474 Erik Ahlfeldt, Sweden 23 August 2008 Dear Herr Scholl! I´m very ,very happy to have found your voice and music. We have a similar background with singing in boys choir and also started to study counter techniques but hadn´t the real patience to contiuing. Your voice is, for me, very subtle and pregnant in a very wonderful combination. I look forward so much to listen to you, live, in Copenhagen this october. All the best for your future. 473 Nancy Polston, USA 19 August 2008 My seventy-year-old mother just flew from the United States to see Andreas Scholl sing in Ireland. My father says, "Mission accomplished!" They have already purchased tickets to see him again NEXT year in California. She calls me every week to purchase her more Scholl stuff. I've tried telling her that I have gotten her everything from his discography and there is nothing left. I've even ordered stuff from the UK and had to have it transferred to a US format. Seriously, Andreas, my mom is YOUR biggest fan in the United States! You should consider performing closer to her hometown, like Washington DC. You can remember my mom as the little Korean woman who requested for you to sing the Arirang. 472 Zoli, Hungary 18 August 2008 Giulio Cesare in Egitto - Dantone shaping given in a performance best Cesare! Bravo Andreas! From Zoli, Budapest! 471 Anwemago, Austria 17 August 2008 Hallo Herr Scholl, Ich bin von der Magie der Countertenöre fasziniert; das Verschmelzen von Männlichem und Weiblichem in der Stimme nimmt mich gefangen - ich kann es leider nicht anders beschreiben, das wissen andere wohl besser; ich bedaure sehr, dass ich die Schubertiade heuer in Österreich verpasst habe - so muss ich auf den kommenden Juni warten. Es tut mir gut, Ihrer Stimme zu lauschen! Liebe Grüße aus Salzburg. 470 Angel Quintana, Spain 6 August 2008 Congratulaions for your wonderfull career!!! i have just enjoied Buxtehude with Jacobs... really moving. Hope to listen to you soon in Madrid. Greetings from Angel, member of Orquesta Nacional de España 469 Filip Holacký, Czech Republic 25 July 2008 Andreas, you are the best singer in the world. Now I listen only you and your performances of Handel's operas and other beautiful music. I love your pop. You are really GOD ;) But why do you not come to Czech Republic? :( You have a lot of fans here now, after I said about you to my friends and neighbours :) Please come :) Your Czech fan, Filip H 468 Bethany, Finland 22 July 2008 We discovered you Andreas in 2000 and since then we have been your ardent fans for 8 years!!! We saw you in concert once and it was incredible! You touched our hearts and we know many of your songs off by heart. Would love to see you sing again. You are the best! 467 Dora Flor, Brazil 14 July 2008 Ola Andreas, Wie gehts dir? Schon lang nix gehort! Wir vermissen deine stimme... Adeus ,Dora Flor & familia. 466 Chris Lawrence 14 July 2008 Simpy the most beautiful singing I have ever heard. The sense of line and phrase, the musicality and beauty of sound all in service of the music is unforgettable. At the RFH recently the Wayfaring Stranger encore after the Handel gymnastics just took us to another place and my wife burst into tears at the emotional depth. Wonderful - so many thanks for the blessing of your musicianship. 465 Mimi, Japan 3 July 2008 I accidentaly found his name at the You Tube one week ago. Since then I am sooooo excited! I am age of 59, and most of my music life was occupied by Alfred Deller and other countertenor singers. But now I found a new big shining star! No star, he is a really sun warms our hearts. Thank you very much and please forgive my poor English. 464 Andreas Fan, USA 1 July 2008 Andreas, when are you coming to Chicago? Please come to the center of the United States, not just the coasts! We love you here!! 463 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 28 June 2008 Andreas quand vas-tu enregistrer l'opéra Admeto de G F Handel? J'ai écouté les airs du role titre est c'est vraiment pour toi surtout l'air "Ah, si moro" ...a mediter... Fabrice, un grand fan belge 462 Wilma J Austin, UK 18 June 2009 It will now be a week since I had the enormous pleasure of seeing you sing at the Royal Festival Hall and I still feel completely elated,by the experience. It is always such a privilege to come and see you sing.Your voice is absolute perfection,exalting us to an altogether higher emotional plain. Sound The Trumpet with James Bowman was an exhilarating finale to the concert and so affecting. To meet you at the post-recital signing,was wonderful.You have such a generosity of spirit,it is a pure delight. With great admiration and kindest regards from Wilma in Scotland. x 461 Ruth, UK 12 June 2008 I had the privilege of being present at the concert at the Royal Festival Hall last night, and you gave the best performance I have ever heard you give - which is saying something. You were TOP, I believe is the current fashionable phrase. Such purity of voice and control in the Nisi Dominus and Wayfaring Stranger, the audience stopped breathing en masse. It was thrilling when you performed Purcell's Sound the Trumpet with James Bowman - the height of elegance, and that duet alone made it worth travelling to London from the north of England. The audience went home happy. 460 Karolina, UK 12 June 2008 Andreas, I have been to your every single London concert for the past couple of years but I must say the concert you gave yesterday at the Royal Festival Hall was by far the best! I loved the duet with Mr Bowman at the end of it. Your voice is so amazing, it brings tears to my eyes. Your fan forever. 459 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 11 June 2008 J'ai entendu la diffusion radiophonique du Jules César d'Andreas a Lausanne moi j'ai trouvé un Jules César juvenile magnifique dans l'aigu pur delice vocaux vraiment quel solidité et quelle equipe autour : Cencic; de la Merced ; Dumaux; Hellekant...top! 458 Ginger Reaves, USA 7 June 2008 I happened upon a TV show about Counter Tenors, and was blown away by Mr. Scholl's voice. I am sorry it took so long to find him, now I cant get enough of his voice! Bravo! 457 Thierry, France 4 June 2008 Cher Andreas, J'ai assisté hier à votre concert du Théatre des Champs Elysés à Paris. Quelle merveilleux moment vous nous avez offert! Merci pour tout. Bien à vous. 456 Chris Sparks, USA 30 May 2008 I think you have a wonderful voice! I think my voice was more countertenor/leggiero tenor when I was younger but as a young adult in the US we were discouraged to use head voice. Now at 46 I only have part of that range but I am making strides to recaptured my lost voice. You give me inspiration and hope! Thanks! 455 Laura Jane Seagrave, UK 15 May 2008 The first time I heard you sing, I thought I had wandered into another dimension quite by chance, where no infernal sounds or sights could interrupt the intense pleasure of being bathed in a voice that stirred me to the depths of my soul. Your recordings of English Folk Songs and Haendel arias especially have, during some rather difficult times, eased a very sore heart that ached from some very 21st Century burdens. Thank you so so very much for providing comfort and sustenance - you have a great gift and somehow it seems to me so much the greater that you probably can have no idea what an amazing joy it is to be lifted up to the heights on hearing your voice soar. Somehow I know what to expect, but yet you still always manage to take me by surprise. I really hope that you continue to perform as long as possible, but as your performing schedule eases, you take every opportunity to teach and inspire a new generation of singers. I must also mention, that I had the opportunity to meet you following a concert at the Barbican in 2006; though you had given an exceptional performance and must have been exhausted, you spent at least an hour speaking to as many people as you could and answered all my very nosy questions with patience and humour and talking about your daughter. Take care. I do hope I get the chance to see you perform again. THANKS! 454 Philippe Jeannin, Belgium 12 May 2008 Just back from the concert in Salzburg where Andreas gave an amazingly good concert (but doesn't he always?) He's the best! 453 Bertrand, Switzerland 11 May 20080 Cher Andreas Scholl, A deux reprises la même semaine, suis allé vous voir et vous entendre à Lausanne dans Giulio Cesare. Vous avez été ces deux soirs là celui que j'avais tant de fois entendu et vu sur des extraits sur Internet. Mais vous étiez en chair et en os avec votre voix qui tranche incroyablement sur votre physique. Le Va tacito et le Se in fiorito me trottent dans la tête. Vous campiez un Jules César crédible de conquérant amoureux. Merci et au plaisir de vous retrouver dans un nouveau Giulio Cesare... 452 Tom, UK 11 May 2008 You have a spellbinding and magical voice. Thank you for letting me know that such uplifting music could exist. 451 Inga Norden, USA 11 May 2008 I saw you on an educational channel on TV and was blown away by the beauty of your voice! Bless you and your great gift! 450 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 14 April 2008 Sincèrement Andreas je te souhaite beaucoup de succès et d'inspiration pour ton Jules César a Lausanne ce mois ci!! Un grand fan Belge. 449 Lis Thomsen, Denmark 8 April 2008 Dear Andreas Scholl, You have to be crazy to get up in the middle of the night to listen to a concert. I am so happy that I am such a crazy person. What a joy at 3 o’clock in the morning to listen to the broadcast of one of your Sydney concerts. In particular I was deeply moved by Va per le vene il sangue, and I hope one day to have the opportunity to hear your soul-stirring rendition of Marco Rosano’s wonderful Stabat Mater live in concert. Meanwhile I am looking forward to Giulio Cesare in Lausanne later this month. 448 Vala, France 22 March 2008 Juste un petit mot pour dire que votre voix pure image même de la perfection est un modèl pour tous les contre-ténors. j'ai 15 ans et je voulais savoir si ma voix avait encore le temp de chager. 447 Yeliz, France 17 March 2008 Sublime voice... I have chills... I love this music vraimant ... Bravo. 446 Lee Jiwon, Korea 6 March 2008 I was amazed to listen to the song, Arirang. I want you to come to Korea. Your voice is very beatiful. I bought your CD at Amazon's UK site because that album was sold out in Korea. I want to see your concert. 445 Sebastian, Australia 2 March 2008 It was a spiritual experience when I saw Andreas Scholl performed with Australian Brandenburg Orchestra last night (1st March 2008) in Sydney. I was completely mesmerized by his pure and angelic voice. I felt like a teenage boy, filled with excitement and disbelief, when he autographed a CD for me. He has such a down-to-earth personality, and great smiles. 444 OC, UK 29 February 2008 I found out about Andreas Scholl on You Tube and I thought his voice was and still is beautiful! 443 Inés de Erausquin, USA 28 February 2008 I discovered Andreas on youtube (ever useful!) and his incomparable performance of Where'er You Walk was my guideline when I learned it as a budding mezzo-soprano. Thank you, Andreas, and may you always sing so angelically - here and hereafter. 442 Sarah Kennemer, USA 21 February 2008 Ever since we performed the Chichester Psalms at my school, I've become more interested in countertenors. I saw the performance of Rodelinda on Ovation and I loved it. I'm a vocal performance/music ed major and it is so nice to see and learn more. I hope to see more of you on Ovation or in live performance some day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift. 441 Lulu Scott, USA 21 February 2008 Good morning from Texas from a new fan who just saw your performance in Rodelinda. My retired physician turned gentleman rancher husband (say that quickly!) was finishing his shower when I had turned on Rodelinda playing on Ovation instead of his morning news program. As he dried off, good ole Texas hubby started listening and said, "Who is THAT?" Thinking he wanted me to switch the program, and knowing he did not appreciate opera, I changed the channel. Dripping wet, he charges into the bedroom and says, "No -- change it back! That was beautiful!" Well, that WAS a first. I look forward to purchasing your recordings and learning more about your work. 440 Valerie Le Maitre, Australia 20 February 2008 I love your folk songs, as I at first found Julius Caesar hard to handle as a countertenor. Have just heard your interview with Margaret Throsby. Many thanks for so much pleasure. 439 Julia, USA 31 January 2008 Eine gute Besserung wuensche ich Ihnen und viel Glück in Australien. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, bis sie nach NYC kommen... Herzliche Gruesse. 438 Sabine, Austria 25 January 2008 Dear Andreas - I wish you a speedy recovery! Get well soon and please look after yourself - not only for the audience! 437 Elvira, Netherlands 18 January 2008 Dear Andreas, After many many years hearing you sing on my radio, I finally got the change to hear you sing in real-life! I was there yesterday in the Vredenburg, Utrecht. I really loved it! Can't say more about it, your performance is just perfect! A pity that you had a cold, but we couldn't notice it! Thank you for the most wonderful evening ever, and I'm sure I will see you again, even if it means I have to go out of the country! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 436 Rosaura Alicea Fernandez, USA 8 January 2008 WOW...I am in love! I could listen to you over and over. I just saw/heard you for the first time on OvationTV in Rodelinda. And now I'm going to purchase the DVD and watch it over & over again!! Thank you for giving so much, you have knocked my socks offs and left me breathless, not something that just any voice can do. The first voice to do this to me is that of Andrea Bocelli... and now you! Who knew, you angels even share the same first name! Muah! Bravisimo!! 435 Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 26 December 2007 Dear Andreas, A bit late,but Happy Christmas! Mine was very nice, especially because we listened to your recordings: Schutz, the Christmas Oratorio,and of course we saw Giulio Cesare again.Thank you or all the wonderful music of this year .I look forward to whatever your artistry and your imagination and your inspiration have in store for us. God bless you! 434 Julia, Lithuania 24 December 2007 Dear Andreas, Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you! Let the warm light of Christmas candles always glow in your heart and bring you happiness and peace. Let all your dreams come true at this wonderful time and afterwards. 433 Rui Vieira, Portugal 13 December 2007 Thank you for giving me the opportunity of hearing you live at Casa da Musica on December... It was delightfull... 432 Ana Vaz Pinto, Portugal 12 December 2007 Breathtaking performance at "Casa da Música"... Please keep coming to Portugal! 431 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 8 December 20078 Cher Andreas J'espère que la vie est belle pour vous car depuis que je vous ai vu Samedi 1 Decembre en concert a UCCLE je sais que j'y ai rencontré un grand chanteur! Je rêve de vous entendre un jour dans l'Ode pour l'Anniversaire de la Reine Anne Eternal source light of divine de Haendel. Il avait écrit ce bel air pour Richard Elford, contre-tenor de son état, pour le remercier d'avoir charitablement chanté des anthems au Foundling Hospital de Londres... comme Rosano aurait fait pour vous avec son Stabat Mater!! 430 Ruben Ferreira, Portugal 6 December 2007 Looking forward to see Andreas on Saturday. I'm sure it'll be a great evening! 429 Poly Barrios, Argentina 26 November 2007 Dear Andreas, When I listen your voice and your interpretation I feel purity very close to me. Gracias 428 Maria Luisa Leiria, Portugal 10 November 2007 Happy Birthday Andreas, I hope you had a wonderful day. Looking forward to see you in Lisbon soon. 427 Wilma J Austin, UK 10 November 2007 Dear Andreas, Many Happy Returns of the day,from Scotland,on the occasion of your 40th birthday! Wishing you all you wish for and thanking you for the immeasurable pleasure you give to people,by way of your singing and the exquisite music you bring us. 426 Julia, Lithuania 10 November 2007 Dear Andreas, Happy birthday to you! I think it's a wonderful time when you are already experienced, famous and on top of your career and still young, incredibly good-looking and full of energy. Enjoy this life - every moment of it! Be happy! And hope to see you at concerts. 425 Lieselotte Waldhoer, Switzerland 10 November 2007 Sehr verehrter Herr Scholl! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem "grossen" Geburtstag in der Hoffnung,dass Sie Ihre spannenden Zukunftspläne in Ihrer Heimat verwirklichen können. 424 Fabrice Gonnet, France 10 November 2007 Ce message en forme d'hommage pour la voix d'Andreas scholl que j'aime beaucoup. Je l'ai découverte avec les cantates de Bach et elle me transporte toujours autant...Jusqu'à récemment je n'avais pour référence de voix contre ténor que James Bowman..... Au jourd'hui Andreas Scholl... Continuez à nous faire rêver et apprécier le répertoire baroque qui trouve avec vous une de ses plus belles incarnations vocales, un de ses meilleur ambassadeur. 423 Linda, Germany 10 November 2007 Lieber Andreas Scholl, alles Liebe und Gute zum Geburtstag! Mögen all Ihre Wünsche in Erfüllung gehen und der Himmel seine Hand über Sie halten, daß Sie uns alle noch oft und lange mit Ihrer Kunst glücklich machen. Gott segne Sie. 422 Hiroko Mori, Japan 10 November 2007 Cher Andreas Toutes mes felicitations pour quarantieme anniversair! Je vous souhaite bien du bonheur. 421 Claudia, Spain 10 November 2007 Muchas Felicidades, Sr Scholl! Los mejores deseos para El Mejor. 420 Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 10 November 2007 Dearest Andreas, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!And thank you for the great music you have given us this year. Thank you for 'Giulio Cesare' (amazing!); 'Membra Jesu Nostri'(sublime!); 'Il Duello Amoroso' (just love it); 'Scholl Goes Pop'(love it,too) I am a true fan and I am grateful for all the music I have discovered because of you. Keep on exploring and developing. Don't limit your amazing gifts. God bless you,dearest Angel!!! 419 Bruno Ribeiro Tavares, Portugal 5 November 2007 Best Regards from Lisbon, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I can't just wait to see you in Gulbenkian Foundation! 418 James F Garvey, Ireland 4 November 2007 Hy Andreas, Thank you for the wonderful concert you sang Wednesday and for meeting us afterwards too. You've given me and my voice teacher lots to talk about and I'm currently working on some new voice drills to help me improve on my counter-tenor resonance. I'm hoping in time to come you'll return for another concert in Ireland. I'll look forward to hearing you perform again. Thanks once again for the experience. 417 Linda P, Germany 5 October 2007 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Vielen Dank für die in jeder Richtung beeindruckende Aufführung von Händels Saul in Kloster Eberbach! Die Reise (in meine Heimat)hat sich gelohnt! Natürlich waren wir auch im Gottesdienst in Kiedrich! Schade,daß so wenig Nachwuchs bei den Chorbuben da ist.Bei einem solch großen Vorbild! Ich denke,es gäbe viel zu tun,um die Tradition zu bewahren. Herzliche Grüße und tiefe Verehrung, Ihr größter Fan, Linda P 416 Stephanie, France 29 September 2007 Vespätet, ich danke Herm Andreas Scholl für die entgegengebrachte Freundlichkeit, meiner Einladung in Beaune am Sonntag den 29 Juli gefolgt zu haben und mir in diesem Zusammenhang die Kunst der Interpretation erklärt zu haben. 415 Hannah, UK 16 September 2007 I was introduced to your music 4 years ago by a language teacher (Paul) at a school I worked at. I was so amazed at your beautiful voice. I listen to you whenever I need to be in a world of my own, with your music I find solace. Thank you, always a privilege to listen to you. 414 Marit, Norway 11 September 2007 Dear Andreas Scholl, I love your version of Bach Agnus Dei, I listen not with my ears but with my soul. Music made in heaven. Please don't stop singing. 413 Allison Davies, UK 5 September 2007 One of my greatest pleasures this summer has been to discover your exquisite voice. When browsing iTunes I found your recording of She moved through the fair, which led me to other recordings, all equally sublime. Please keep singing and come and visit Newcastle, where you have many fans. 412 Adrien Beffa, Switzerland 3 September 2007 J'écoute Andreas depuis que je suis enfant et j'ai grandi avec cette musique. C'est fantastique. I listen to Andreas since I was only a child and I grow up with this music, It's wonderful... I like so much the Andreas's music, it's really the best music in the world. All is perfect, voice, meaning of the notes... so Andreas really sings like a angel!!! He doesn't play the music, he lives in the music and it's a wonderful thing for us, we can listen to him. I'm sorry for my english, I know, my level is horrible!!! But I only want to say thank you, Andreas. I wish you the best of the best. Merci mille fois pour ce que vous faites, votre musique est si belle. Vous nous aisez à vivre, n'arrêtez jamais ce que vous faîtes. Je vous souhaites tout le meilleur possible. Un de vos fans, qui tient beaucoup à pouvoir encore lontemps entendre cette si belle musique. 411 Pia & Jørn Vestergaard, Denmark 30 August 2007 Dear Andreas, We have seen you in Copenhagen Julius Cesar and Pergolesi Stabat Mater in our Radiohause. And the best concert in my life, in Berlin 04 with you and Accademia Bizantina. I need words!!! Please come to Copenhagen!!! You have open for feelings I never know. We Wish You A Good Life! 410 Sally Gardner, UK 30 August 2007 I too was puzzled by the quote in Michael Bo's article that female middle aged audiences draw away from countertenors as they become older. It seems true that female opera singers have a very hard time with directors as they get older, and I guess anyone in the public eye has to watch their weight. But I didn't notice that James Bowman became any less popular in his 40s or 50s. When the voice starts to become restricted, or miss notes, ok, but that's nothing to do with appearance. But it may be that the quote was taken out of a context that would have made more sense. Enjoy your 40s. It really IS a wonderful time, careerwise and personally. Everything still works fine and you know far more about how to use it! 409 Fabriçe Cardo, Belgium 27 August 2007 Il ya 20 ans que j'écoute de la musique dites "ancienne" disons de Machaut a Rossini et je peux dire que la voix d'Andreas Scholl est encore meilleure qu'avant pour l'opera...il as gagné en puissance il utilise son registre de poitrine et dieux si l'extension de la tessiture a l'extrême est importante pour l'opéra chez Handel, Hasse, Porpora, etc... des acents "angéliques" ont disparus est c'est normal... regardez Gerard Lesne il est pour moi maintenant a son age une parfaite haute-contre a la française! Bref les trilles de Bartoli; l'aplomb de Marylin Horne; les coloratures de Sutherland; l'angelisme de Deller et la beauté intrinsèque de la voix d'Andreas est on est pas loin de la vérité... a méditer!!! 408 Wilma J Austin, UK 26 August 2007 Dear Andreas, It was such a great privilege and a pleasure to be at your Edinburgh Festival debut,in the Usher Hall,on Friday evening. The grief and anguish of the first cantata Cessate,omai cessate was acutely tangible and truly exquisite. Having listened to Vivaldi's Stabat Mater countless times and being familiar with its sorrowful text, to actually see you sing it was breathtaking and completely overwhelming. Thank you for coming to Scotland and for an intensly moving experience, to be cherished. Haste ye back! With love and thanks. xxx 407 Lis Thomsen, Denmark 25 August 2007 Dear Andreas Scholl, I have just read Michael Bo’s interview with you in the September 2007 edition of the Danish magazine Klassisk. It appears that you are a bit worried about turning 40, and that you feel that Quote: Sometimes I feel that some members of the audience – especially middle-aged women want to keep the counter tenor in the role of a boy with an angelic voice, and they punish you by withdrawing their love if you gain a little weight, get wrinkles or grey hair. Unquote. I am 64 years old, so maybe I do not belong in the category ‘middle-aged’ but rather in the category ‘old’. Anyway I do not agree with you on the quoted statement. A few wrinkles, grey hair or a few kilos overweight will never change the fact that you are my favourite singer. On the contrary, I love your mature voice and your ‘new’ interpretations. I am crazy about your interpretation of Cessate omai cessate from the concert in Salzburg, it is far more temperamental than the ‘old’ interpretation, and I love it when you use your baritone register. And dear Andreas Scholl rest assured that I share this opinion with my Danish middle-aged Scholler friends. Kind regards Lis Thomsen 406 Mercedes Bestue, Spain 23 August 2007 Recien acabo de descubrir la impresionante de voz de Andres Scholl, ojala pueda verlo en directo alguna vez!!! Andreas te felicito!!! 405 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 15 August 2007 Le Stabat Mater de Pergolèse est un chef d'oeuvre mais celui d'Alessandro Scarlatti en est un également... Je te verrais bien en duo avec Daniele de Niese! Enfin je te souhaite beaucoup de succès a l'opéra mais n'oublies jamais J S Bach. Un grand fan Belge 404 Dunja Klemm, USA 1 August 2007 Hallo Andreas, es war nett dich in Kiedrich getroffen zu haben und etwas plaudern zu koennen.Es wuerde mich freuen wenn Du bei deinem naechsten USA Aufenthalt mal selber in mein Restaurant kommen koenntest. Gruss und alles Gute, Bibo 403 Julia Byriel, USA 28 July 2007 Das Konzert in Wiesbaden war wunderschoen, gerne haette ich oefter die Moeglichkeit Ihre Konzerte zu besuchen. Die Nachricht, dass Sie naechstes Jahr wieder in NYC singen werden hat mich riesig gefreut! Herzliche Gruesse und alles Gute!!! 402 Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 25 July 2007 Dear Andreas, Yes, indeed. There are not enough hours in the day to listen to your amazing voice. My current obssession is the Buxtehude DVD (and the CD,too). What absolutely superb ensemble singing on both versions!!!!! Please, do make room in your busy life for more recordings as sublime as these. I can never thank you enough for your art. God bless you. 401 Natalia, Russia 2 July 2007 Thanks sooooooo much for Il Duello Amoroso dear Andreas! Handel's cantatas are beautiful especially with my beloved voice... PS Sweeter than roses was very very beautiful too... :) 400 Monique Jarzyna, France 29 June 2007 Mr Scholl, your voice is simply and absolutely divine Thank you for embellishing my life. 399 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 27 June 2007 Le Stabat Mater de Pergolesi avec Anna Netrebko!!!!... Andreas tu sais que je suis jaloux!!! On t'as déja vu avec Barbara bonney à Bruxelles; Hélène Guilmette; Camilla Tilling; Renée Fleming; A C Antoniaci, etc... Sympa la vie de contre -ténor... sympa aussi ton entretien avec P Jaroussky dans Musica... J'espère enfin te revoir sous la direction de René Jacob. Amitiés Fabriçe de Braine-Le-Comte - un grand fan Belge 398 Oliver, UK 23 June 2007 Hello Mr. Scholl, I am a countertenor, 14 years old. I have been singing in the Chelmsford Cathedral Choir since I was ten, and my singing teacher and choir master is Peter Nardone. I just want to tell you how much I admire your voice. Actually, it was only a few months ago since I first heard you sing, but now, I absolutely love listening to your voice. There are just not enough hours in a day to listen to you! You are, without a shadow of a doubt, the best countertenor in the world! I wish I could sing as well as you do. I am aware that I sing too loudly in the choir, and I do not think that my voice is very nice to listen to, but I do sing with my heart. Whatever range I develop in the end, I just hope that I have the same sensitive and truly musical approach that you have to all music. 397 Diego, Argentina 18 June 2007 Andreas Scholl is the best countertenor in the whole world! The magic and spirituality of his great voice takes me away to heavens, and I feel I am listening an angel singing! You`re the best man! Andreas, I love your performance of Buxtehude`s Jubilate Domino, and every other single song I`ve heard you singing! 396 Pedro, Spain 3 June 2007 I first listened to Andreas Scholl about five years ago. I bought his albums "Heroes" and "Ombra mai fu" and I just loved them. The first time I listened to him I just fell in love with his voice. It was love at first "hearing / listening". Nobody sings "ombra mai fu" as beautifully as he does.My dream now is to see him sing live in concert. Thank you Mr Scholl. 395 Vincent Ceulemans, Belgium 17 May 2007 I hoped to see and hear Mr Scholl next Sunday, but they called me to say he is ill... get better soon! 394 Russell, UK 15 May 2007 Hi Andreas, I met you once about 10yrs ago in Rotterdam; you wanted my coat and bought it from me! You never said you were a megastar !! 393 Magdalena Grysinska, Poland 9 May 2007 However I'm a mezzosoprano I was tought by a counter-tenor and I learn a lot by listening to male voices. Andreas Scholl is my "idol", his understanding of the meaning of words and notes have always inspired me and his interpretation of early music wakes up my ambitions. Thanks a lot. 392 Catie McKinney, USA 9 May 2007 Hello Mr. Scholl, I followed you over here from your MySpace page. I love the site. :) I just have to tell you how happy I am that you are also doing pop - congratulations! I love your voice.... God Bless You! Your fan and friend, Catie (14) 391 Benjamin Farrelly, UK 24 April 2007 Andreas, you are my singing role model. I'm performing Pergolesi's Stabat Mater with a great soprano in Oxford in a couple of weeks and your recording of it has been an inspiration to me. I saw you perform vergnügte Ruh at the Barbican last november, it was brilliant!! You are brilliant!! 390 Rodrigo Alcoreza Portillo, Bolivia 16 April 2007 You are a master. Thanks for give the world and me your voice, you are of another planet!!! I am your fan forever. 389 Kei Miyakita UK 8 April 2007 The greatest singer I've ever known, Andreas! Thank you for making my life so much fun. You give a song life so that the piece lives for the first time, and it instantly becomes my favourie song. 388 Fabriçe, Belgium 6 April 2007 Un goût parfait,un hauboit dans la gorge,simplicité, naturel,du charme ...merci Andreas pour votre nouveau cd avec H.Guilmette. Haendel et ses cantates arcadiennes vous vont comme un gant! 387 David Gonzalez, Chile 1 April 2007 You are the best! Plz plz come to Chile!!! 386 Youdon'tknowme, Hungary 29 March 2007 I have no words for what I'm going through but I can't resist trying to tell you. Listening to Andreas Scholl singing I don't know if I'm in Heaven or Hell. My heart aches and I'm desperate to stay enwrapped in his voice forever. 385 Stella Birch, Denmark 22 March 2007 Message: I was hoping to se you again in 2008 Royal Opera house in Copenaghen in the fantastik opera Julius Cesar but I cannot find it in the skeduled program of the house for 2007/8. Hope you vill come again in Copenaghen - we miss you! 384 Wilfredo Cisneros, Venezuela 21 March 2007 Profundamente conmovido , por este artista , produce en mi un sentido de asombrada maravilla , y la pura alegria de precensiar un milagro 383 John & Becky Oehlers, USA 9 March 2007 We would REALLY like to see a re-issue of the Cantates Romaines II as soon as possible - Thanks! 382 Robert Schmidt, Netherlands 1 March 2007 Dear Mister Scholl, Did you make a recording with Sylvia McNair? 381 Lisa Zhang, China 28 February 2007 I was only a secondary school student when I heard Mr Scholl's voice along with other two coutertenors on radio.It did make a deep impression on me.Among three of them,I thought his voice is the most beautiful one,with pure and honey timbre.I have been a fan of Mr Scholl since then.But I don't have any opportunity to attend his live concert because he is hardly likely to perform in Asia,a continent that has so little to do with European Traditional Music.I do wish that someday I would go abroad to watch his live performance.But still I wish that Mr Scholl would come to Shanghai and give a performance during Shanghai International Art Festival.Actually,it's not hard for a Chinese to understand the art of coutertenor as there is also a similar tradition in Chinese Opera.But their vocalism are completely different. I am now wondering if he makes an album of Asian folk songs,what will it be.It must be very funny and exotic or maybe it's only a foolish idea... 380 Geoffrey D Decker, USA 24 February 2007 I'm a HUGE fan! Do you know how I could get an autographed photograph? 379 Spencer, USA 24 February 2007 I am a student of German in Los Angeles, CA, USA. I am under much stress and often listen to you sing on cd. Your lovely voice unties all the knots in my stomach and takes my stress away. I hope someday to see you sing in person. Sie sind ein Schatz. 378 Sherry, USA 24 February 2007 I have been waiting a long time to see you, but you never seem to make it to Los Angeles. Perhaps in the future. I will be the first in line for tickets! Your lovely singing voice is like warm honey. Please come to southern California someday! 377 Bruce, USA 13 February 2007 I have not yet had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Scholl live either in concert or in opera. His appearance with The Metropolitian Opera in Handel's Rodelinda was truly a revelation. His first act aria Dove sei, amato bene? as sung during that broadcast was one of the most moving and beautiful single arias I have ever heard. Oh, what I would give now to have been in the house!! Of course my aircheck of that performance is something I treasure. Despite several fine countertenors on the scene today, I must say that none has come close to equalling what I hear in this voice. I don't say that to be critical of others. No one could play the piano like Horowitz, the cello like Casals, or the guitar like Segovia. Some artists are just in the league. There are very very few. Mr. Scholl is one of them. 376 Steve Olffers, Netherlands 11 February 2007 I love your voice from the beginning. Your voice is so unic. thank your for al the nice moments. I singing Indian music for a tempel, music is "God". 375 Laure, France 4 February 2007 Bravo et merci à vous, créateurs de ce site, pour cet hommage artistique, si élégant dans sa présentation ET dans son propos ! Quelle joie de constater que l'on peut rendre hommage à un artiste sans tomber dans la complaisance, l'idolâtrie ou le mauvais goût ! Monsieur Scholl doit être fier d'avoir suscité un tel travail, et vous lui faites honneur. Moi qui ai été une "fan" de la toute première heure (j'avais 15 ans en 1995, à l'époque de ses débuts parisiens !), jamais je n'ai trouvé informations plus riches et surtout intéressantes à son sujet. Alors que je trouve aujourd'hui sa voix moins touchante et moins "vraie" qu'avant..., vous m'avez donné envie de m'y intéresser à nouveau ! Merci, continuez ! 374 Fabrice de Braine-Le-Comte, Belgium 1 February 2007 Quel plaisir réentendre Andreas dans ces cantates de Bach pour alto solo et Ottavio Dantone :"Maestro di cembalo" au Shubertiade!!! Parfait et Monsieur Scholl vous avez comme dirait Begnine de Baccily: "un Hauboit de chasse dans le gosier" kiss from Belgium. 373 Natalia, Russia 31 January 2007 Thanks to you I love John Dowland's music - sadness, desperation, unrequited Love and hope.. for a better future life. John Dowland is as a magnet for me... You are my best teacher, dear Andreas! Your new London programe is so beautiful... It is may be that I've been expecting from you as a performer most of all... I read these texts as a schoolgirl with a dictionary (excuse me for my English). I've understood: for last 400 years absolutely nothing changed - we need the beauty. English Renaissance... Thank you for your Vienna recital. I love your voice... P.S. Unfortuanetly, "sold out" is a verdict of Wigmore Hall... It's a pity.... 372 Thomas Green, UK 31 January 2007 I support your campaign to have Cantates Romaines II reissued. 371 Ulla, Switzerland 31 January 2007 In Wettingen wollte ich nicht in Deiner haut stecken, bewundernswert, wie Du eine groteske bühne und ein nicht sehr höfliches publikum gemeistert hast. danke für jeden ton, den ich von Dir hören darf. danke für jede cd, danke, dass Du so gut für Deine stimme sorgst und und so hoffentlich noch viele und von der stimmung her glücklichere konzerte bescheren wirst. 370 Jinny, South Korea 27 January 2007 Ich bin eine Koreanerin in Deutschland. Ich höre seit 2Stn Ihre musik... 369 Jinny, South Korea 27 January 2007 Hallo... Andreas..!! Ich studiere Zahnmedizin in Heidelberg...wenn ich wegen dem Studium gestresst bin, höre ich Ihre Musik!!! Dann... geht alles gut!!!! ^^ Ihre Stimme ist wunderschön...!! Ich wünsche ihnen... ein weiteres erfolgreiches Leben.!!! PS das Lied... Arirang... haben Sie sehr gut gesungen.. Ihre Aussprache ist sehr gut!! ^^ 368 Ingrid Schulze, Austria 13 January 2007 Lieber Andi! Heute hab ich Dich zum ersten Mal singen gehört - hast mich voll umgehauen! Was gibt es schöneres im Nachtdienst, als Deine Stimme zu hören. Bin schon ganz entspannt. Bis auf ein baldiges Wiederhören. Ingrid (in diesem Falle: leider verheiratete) Schulze (Ach Herr, ach Herr - lass mich Dein liebes Engelein ...) 367 Amalia Prat, Andorra 5 January 2007 Voix spectaculaire, émouvante! Son interprétation de Cum dederit est simplement prodigieuse. Bravo, Andreas! 366 Natalia, Russia 1 January 2007 I'd like to wish You all the best in the next year. It is my hope that ALL your wishes will come true, ALL your dreams, dear Andreas... Happy New Year! 365 Linda, Germany 7 December 2006 Es war die reine Freude Andreas Scholl und die Accademia Bizantina in der Münchner Philharmonie zu erleben. Danke für dieses aussergewöhnliche Konzert. Bach ist das Grösste, aber von Andreas Scholl gesungen an Tiefe und Innigkeit nicht mehr zu übertreffen. Danke für diesen Abend!! 364 Natalia, Russia 28 November 2006 "Lute songs" + Mr Andreas Scholl + Vienna!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much, dear Andreas!!!!!!!!!! 363 David Moore, UK 27 November 2006 Heard this recording of Handel Cantates Romaines with Scholl from '93 this morning on BBC Radio 3 - can't believe it isn't any longer available. Pourqoi pas ?! 362 Wilma J Austin, UK 26 November 2006 A BIG thank you to you and Accademia Bizantina for the exquisite Bach recital, in the Barbican Hall, on Friday. This was the first time I had seen you sing Bach. It is amazing that such an austere text can be made to sound so stunningly beautiful. An almost indescribable and blissfully emotional experience, to nourish the soul and be carried in the heart, forever. It is lovely that you are willing to meet and chat with people after the performance, in such a generous and kind way. I was ecstatic to learn from you of your intention for the June concert to be a lute song recital, as opposed to Purcell, as suggested on the Schollsoc concert calender. Dowland has to be the ultimate in melancholic beauty. I look forward to seeing you sing this wondrous music. Many thanks. x 361 José, Spain 18 November 2006 I was in the November 3rd concert at the Teatro Real, Madrid. It was simply the most perfect recital that I can imagine. Thank you Mr Scholl and please come back to Spain soon, le esperamos! 360 Natalia, Russia 12 November 2006 Herzliche Glueckwunsche zu deinem Geburtstag, lieber Andreas! Thank you for "English Folksongs and Lute Songs". "Me, me and non but me" is one of your masterpieces. ...I wish you to be loved and to be understood ... 359 Edith Naghiu, Germany 11 November 2006 ...ein immer wieder erfreuliches Ereignis...Alles Gute 358 Patricia Relle, UK 10 November 2006 Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Andreas! 357 Lieselotte Waldhoer, Switzerland 10 November 2006 Hallo Herr Scholl! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Gesundheit, Erfolg und viel Freude im Beruf auf dass Ihnen alles gelingt, was Sie sich vom kommenden Lebensjahr erhoffen. 356 Christel Kollmann, Germany 10 November 2006 Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, lieber Andreas Scholl! Danke für die Freude, die Sie mit Ihrer schönen Stimme und Gesangskunst mir - wie vielen anderen Menschen - bereiten. Ihr Programm "Händel, Haydn, Mozart" hat mir sehr gefallen. Ich habe mir die SWR-Sendung des vollen Programms von dem Schwetzinger Konzert aufgenommen und höre es oft mit großem Genuss. Insbesondere Ihre zweite Zugabe "Senti, di te, ben mio ..." begeistert mich jedes Mal, wenn ich es höre. Ich warte nun sehr auf Ihre angekündigten Einspielungen auf CD, besonders auch auf die Kantaten von Caldara. Ich wünsche Ihnen, dass Sie Ihre persönlichen künstlerischen Pläne weiterhin verwirklichen können. 355 Luisa, Portugal 10 November 2006 Muito Parabéns por mais este Aniversário. Espero que ano lhe traga muitas felicidaes artísticas e pessoais. 354 Lyn, UK 10 November 2006 Wishing you a very Happy Birthday - have a wonderful day! 353 Claudia, Spain 10 November 2006 Muchas Felicidades Sr. Scholl o como decimos en mi país: Zorionak! Acabo de recibir seis discos de Ud. así que parece más mi cumpleaños.Gracias por todo. 352 Linda P, Germany 10 November 2006 Lieber Andreas Scholl, alles, alles Liebe und Gute zum Geburtstag! Danke für Ihre Musik, die mir jeden Tag verschönt! Ich freu mich schon sehr auf Ihr Konzert in München und grüße Sie ganz herzlich, Ihr größter Fan L. 350 Wilma J Austin, UK 10 November 2006 Dear Andreas, Many Happy Returns of the day, from Scotland :) Thank you for the great pleasure you give to people, through your wondrous voice and the beautiful music you bring us. Wishing you continued success, with love and best wishes. x Very much looking forward to your London Barbican concert :) 349 Nilnilx, China 9 November 2006 The first time I ran into Scholl's voice is in "King Henry" from English folks song. Then his voice's been accompanying me right through the most difficult time in life and study. I don't know much about classic music, but I'm sure he is UNIQUE to me... 348 Georgios, Greece 7 November 2006 Cher Andreas Scholl, Dimanche dernier, j'ai traversais le bois qui mène au châteaux de Chambord en accompagnie de votre voix dans "Ombra mai fu" et "Va taccito nascosto" et l'émotion était inopinée. Merci de nous faire parvenir une telle sensation! 347 Rosalinda Ramos, Mexico 6 November 2006 ¡Feliz cumpleaños, lieber nachtigall! God bless you for blessing with your voice and your art.

There are no words to describe Andreas Scholl... he is, without any shadow of a doubt, the most wonderful, passionate and amazing singer ever born - heaven sent. 343 Israel, Mexico 29 October 2006 The best of counter tenor voices in the world... 342 Natalia, Russia 28 October 2006 Dear Andreas, Thank you for "Giulio Cesare" in Paris. I was happy to hear "Aure" twice. Your voice rang out so tenderly. It was delightful... 341 Antonio, Italy 27 October 2006 Congratulations to Andreas Scholl for his performance of Handel's "Giulio Cesare", yesterday in Rome. The sounding of his voice inside Santa Cecilia Hall was fantastic. Best moments: "Empio dirò tu sei", "Va tacito e nascosto" (act 1); "Al lampo dell'armi" (act 2); "Aure, deh, per pietà" (act 3) with a masterly prolonged emission of the letter "A". This opera will remain for Rome and the Auditorium Parco della Musica, one of the Handel's opera best interpretations of all times. 340 Ramón María Vázquez García, Spain 26 October 2006 I am RAMÓN MARÍA VÁZQUEZ GARCÍA, from Santiago de Compostela(Spain). I am countertenor since I was two years old. When I was 11 years old I am start to sing as countertenor in the Scola Cantorum of my Church. Actually I take lessons with MERCEDES HERNÁNDEZ and RICHARD LEVITT,and study also in PORTO(PORTUGAL)in the "ESMAE", with MAGNA FERREIRA and other teachers. RICHARD LEVITT told me in October 2006 in Salamanca (Spain) that I can to sing like Andreas Scholl, but I know I have to do a hard work every day. I know José Hernández and Carlos Mena. They are two great persons and great singers. I hope to see you someday. For my, you are the best countertenor all over the world. Pleased to write you. Simplicity, Love, Peace and my best wishes of happiness for you and your family. Bye,bye. 339 Gari Safaryan, Georgia 23 October 2006 Et bien sur mes felicitations pour GIULIO CESARE. comme toujour vous etez formidable et magnifique!!!! Je pleure toujour quand je vous ecoute; je vous adore, andreas!!! 338 Javier Nuño, Mexico 19 October 2006 I really go mad when I hear you, congratulations to your Giulio Cesare yesterday at Theatre des Champs Elysees, Paris, you were absolutely wonderful we still hope to have us singing in Mexico. OK, thanks for your appreciation. Best wishes, you have a friend in Mexico. Javi 337 Angel Sanchez, Peru 18 October 2006 Sr. Andreas, Soy un fanatico de la musica que interpreta y de su melodiosa voz, yo soy tenor y tengo un grupo de musica barroca del Cuzco aqui en Peru se llama Limatriumphante ya tuvimos una gira por USA y parece que saldra el de España, espero que algun dia lo tengamos aqui en Peru para intercambiar musica y tener la dicha de conocerlo, me despido con un fuerte abrazo y apreton de manos. 336 Jason Hoffart, Venezuela 11 October 2006 As a self-taught countertenor the beauty of Andreas Scholl's voice has helped me incredibly. 335 Daniel Elgersma, Netherlands 25 September 2006 Hello, I'm a countertenor myself. People say my voice sounds very like Andreas's. His voice is sooo beautifull, I hope I once will sing with him!! Haha. Keep up the GOOD work! :D 334 Sabine Degroote, France 17 September 2006 Andreas Scholl...un phrasé bouleversant de simplicité...j'adore. 333 Maria, Germany 29 August 2006 Hi, This site is just perfect, the best about Andreas Scholl I´ve found in the web. Thank you !! Andreas, you´re the most wonderful singer in the world! Never stop interpreting music! See you soon in Frankfurt (I hope so) :-) 332 Thomas J D Neal, UK 15 August 2006 Andreas Scholl has the most superb counter-tenor voice I have ever heard. I was first saw him at the BBC Proms in 2005 and ever since have longed to here him again. Last night I went to Borders to buy a copy of one of his CDs. I searched through and cought a glimpse of "SPECIAL OFFER: ONLY £2.99" My heart beating, I looked closer, only to find a Russel Watson CD had made its way into the Andreas School section. The disappointment was enormous! In comparison with Russell Watson (I dare say even a lot of truly classical artists) Scholl is utterly astounding. He is, without doubt, the finest counter-tenor of our age. Well done Scholl - you have captured a teenager's dreams!!! 331 Udo il Ludo, Australia 13 August 2006 Schoene gruesse von noel aus szdnez. Ihr habt euch mal in Deutschland getroffen. Er hat theologie studiert und als religionslehrer gearbeitet, bis ihn ABC radio angagiert hat, wo er jetzt die sendung spirituality und religionen leitet. Alles liebe. 330 Gonzalo, Chile 12 August 2006 Andreas, tan solo felicitarte por tu extraordinario talento, reflejado en cada grabación que he logrado conseguir. Sería fantástico poder contar con una visita a este lejano país del mundo. 329 Aanske A Oosterhoff, Netherlands 7 August 2006 Dear Andreas Scholl, Last year, I heard you singing at the Last Night of the BBC Proms, and I started to cry. Mostly of happiness: Thank you Lord for the beautiful voice of Andreas Scholl! 328 Ricardo Carvalho, Portugal 3 August 2006 Andreas Scholl voice is like a time machine send us all back to an Éden. Congratulations to his extraordinary voice and talent. 326 Fabrice Cardon, Belgium 28 July 2006 Bonjour Andreas, J'espère t'entendre en 2006 ou 2007 a Bruxelles. Tu es le rayon de soleil de ma vie. J 'ai une grave maladie très à la mode...mais ta voix me calme de mes tourments. Kiss from Belgium... 325 Aria Akifi, Germany 18 July 2006 ein traum... 324 Paulo Roberto, Brazil 16 July 2006 Dear Andreas, congratulations for your wonderful voice...it is so amazing....that its like angel voice......please...if you can send me some records of your songs....please....ah.....do u know if here in brasil there's some cd's of your???? God bless you and your voice....bye 323 Claudia, Spain 16 July 2006 Gracias por descubrirme sentimientos que no sabía que existían. 322 Joris, Belgium 7 July 2006 Als beginnend zanger (contra-tenor) zou ik dolgraag eens een concert van Scholl in België bijwonen en ook ev. eens met hem praten ... Wanneer en waar komt hij nog eens naar ons België ? Groetjes... 321 Natalia, Russia 28 June 2006 Dear Andreas! Unfortunately I don't understand German language. But I felt the beauty of your voice at Schubertiade concerts. Thank you very much! I will never forget your recital in Rostock. 320 Lis Thomsen, Denmark 21 June 2006 Dear Andreas A week ago a dear friend of mine gave me a DVD from the broadcasting of yours and Marcus Märkel’s concert in Schwetzingen. Since then I have seen the DVD every day. I enjoy your excellent interpretation very much, it touches my heart and especially die Abendempfindung brings tears to my eyes. I have newer heard such a heart-rending interpretation of this piece and to see you sing it adds to my pleasure. I have only seen you live in Giulio Cesare in Copenhagen in 2005. In October I am going to Paris with my friend and we plan to see three of the Giulio Cesare performances there. I am also looking very much forward to your two concerts in Copenhagen in April next year. I love your Bach interpretations. In connection with the mention in the newspapers of the award to Lars Ulrik Mortensen of the Sonning Music Award it was revealed that you are going to sing at the Royal Theatre of Copenhagen in Partenope in the season 2008-2009, which I am also looking very much forward to. 319 Karolina, UK 19 June 2006 Andreas, beautiful performance in Queen Elizabeth's Hall in London on the 11th of June!!! I even had a chance to exchange couple of words with you while you were signing your CD - I could hardly believe it. I got already tickets for your November performance and I cannot wait!!! Your fan forever. 320 Karin, Sweden 9 June 2006 I miss a category on andreasschollsociety.org: Places we would like Andreas Scholl to perform. I, for one, would like him to perform in Stockholm. 317 Baptiste, France 8 June 2006 J'aimerais devenir un contre-ténor aussi impressionant que vous, sachez que je travaille pour cela et que j'espère rentrer au centre baroque de Versailles pour une formation complète. Je vous adore, votre voix est celle d'un ange, continuez à nous faire rêver, merci pour tout !!!! 316 Virginia Wilhelm, USA 4 June 2006 I was thrilled to see Rodelinda at the Met on the final performance. The production by Stephen Wadsworth was exquisite -- Mr. Scholl's singing and acting were remarkable. A great evening at the Met! I hope we will see Mr Scholl back at the Met in the future -- and also for more recitals in NYC. 315 Karolina, UK 27 May 2006 Believe it or not - in December 05 I bought THE LAST ticket to your concert on 11th June at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. I cannot wait to hear you, Andreas. I am sure it will be a very emotional evening for me, something I will never forget! All the best! 314 Opera Fanatic, USA 24 May 2006 Scholl ROCKS! Come back to the Met Andreas Scholl! Your NYC recital was awesome and your Met Opera Rodelinda performances were SUPERB! I saw it 4 times and I wanted MORE! We need you- don't leave us!!!! I have been totally distracted since closing night, I was in the 7th row when he came out for the final bows - BRAVO does not say enough - try, maybe... a precious gift to the world from above!!!! Why can't the Met offer more Handel/early music operas?? -drats! 313 Peter Pistner, Germany 21 May 2006 Hallo lieber Andreas Scholl! Ich singe jetzt fast vier Jahre in einem Chor. Dies zählt zu meinem größten Hobby neben dem Hören von klassischer Musik. Als ich Sie beim Durchzappen im Fernsehen zum ersten Mal sah, es ging um Ihre Biographie mit zahlreichen Ausschnitten Ihrer Konzerte, war ich total von Ihrer Stimme begeistert. Ich kannte, muss ich zugeben den Begriff Kontratenor bis dahin noch nicht, und musste einfach mehr über diese Stimmlage erfahren, indem ich mir kurzum CDs von Ihnen kaufte. Ich kann einfach nur sagen, dass Ihre klare Stimme ein Traum ist. Ich möchte auch nachträglich zum Echo-Klassik Preis gratulieren, denn er gebührt dem Besten. Ich freue mich, dass Sie im Dezember nach Frankfurt in die Alte Oper kommen, dann kann ich Sie zum ersten Mal live singen hören. Alles Gute und viele Grüße. 312 Lynne Cullen, Scotland 20 May 2006 I think his latest cd is so inspiring to listen to. It always makes me feel good. I need to start a collection right away. Best wishes from Scotland. 311 Alexander, France 20 May 2006 There are only two countertenor voices that the world must remember: Alfred Deller and Andreas Scholl! It is a pleasure every time I listen to them! 310 Fabrice, Belgium 19 May 2006 Andréas je t'adore. N'oublies pas tes premières amours!!! Jean-Sebastien Bach... love from Braine-le-Comte. 309 Sherry Nagel, USA 17 May 2006 We had the privilege of hearing Andreas perform at the New York Met in Rodelinda. He was fabulous. We want to hear more of his singing. 308 Linda, Germany 15 May 2006 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Ganz herzliche Glückwünsche zum Classical Brit Award!! Bei allem Respekt vor den anderen Künstlern: Wer hätte diesen Preis, sowie all die anderen Preise und Auszeichnungen, mehr verdient als Sie!! Weiterhin die allerbesten Wünsche, und kommen Sie bald wieder nach München, Linda P. 307 Javier Garbayo, Spain 14 May 2006 Thanks for your voice and for your Art. It´s one of better things in my life! 306 Sharon McBride, UK 7 May 2006 Wonderful to see an artist of substance being recognised at the Classical Brits. Still waiting impatiently for that concert in Belfast... Please, no pink frocks! 305 Orlando Aguirre, Colombia 28 April 2006 God has blessed you with that magnificent voice. I enjoy very much visiting your page and hearing that beatiful music. I knew about you just a couple months ago through a Catholic priest of our parish. He gave the Stabat Mater cd of Vivaldi and since that moment I hear a lot your music. I'm trying to get the cd of Handel 'Si, si...' I love that song. I live in Atlanta GA USA. Saint Blase keep your voice in shape. 304 Enrico, Italy 27 April 2006 Indeed, Mr Scholl, you are the only musician who makes me cry as a baby. Wonderful, inhuman, moving interpretations: this is real ART, in capital letters. Thank you, heartily. 303 Asli Kodan, Turkey 21 April 2006 The first time I heard that voice, I thought that, if angels have voices, this voice exactly could be. After that, I couldn't stand any other voices and still can't. I adore you precious. 302 Jonathan Monroy, Guatemala 20 April 2006 I just can say that you are great Mr Scholl, I'm from Guatemala, but right now I'm in Taiwan, I would like to be in one of your concerts. Your voice inspires art. 301 Edith Naghiu, Germany 14 April 2006 Die Vorstellung in Luzern war wunderschön. Herzlichen Dank. 300 Brian Hogan, USA 12 April 2006 I saw Mr Scholl at Zankel Hall in NYC last night (4-11-06) and it was great. Gorgeous singing...I wish him good luck in his Metropolitan Opera debut. Thank you. 299 Nicole, Germany 10 April 2006 Hallo Andreas, ich war am 1.4. in HH im Michel dabei und konnte mein Glück nicht fassen. Ein Traum hat sich erfüllt! Wäre nicht Lüneburg auch mal ein Konzert wert? Für eine Unterkunft wäre gesorgt, wir habe eine nette Gästeliege im Keller... Liebe Grüße, Nic 298 Aino Dahlgren, Sweden 10 April 2006 Hello, Just wondering when Andreas Scholl will be in Sweden next time, then in Stockholm? 297 Paloma Borondo, Spain 3 April 2006 I´m so glad that you´ll come to Madrid to sing at the Teatro Real, by the end of the year. I remember hearing your last performance here, at the Zarzuela, on 22 December 2003. I was deeply impressed. I think you´re the best countertenor around. So, I´ll be present at the Teatro Real on 3 November and I´ll applaud at you wildly, again. Thanks. 296 Donna Mark, USA 28 March 2006 I will be seeing him in Rodelinda at the MET on May 13th. and I CAN\'T WAIT!!! I am a HUGE fan of the countertenor voice, and attend musical events usually only with countertenor roles. 295 Linda, Germany 21 March 2006 Die Lange Nacht in Nürnberg war noch nicht lang genug. Es war wunderbar! DANKE! Liebe Grüße und die allerbesten Wünsche aus Bad Aibling, L.P. 294 Barbara, Germany 19 March 2008 Vielen, vielen Dank für die 2 schönen Konzerte in Nürnberg! Ich werde diese Lange Nacht der Alten Musik lange in Erinnerung behalten. Beste Grüße aus München. 293 Paul, UK 14 March 2006 I am currently training as a countertenor. Your voice is an inspiration. Please make more visits to London. 292 Cleves Baumgartner, France 6 March 2006 I thank all the powers of the universe for having come together and given us the privelege, in our generation, the voice of Andreas Scholl. Sitting at the Theatre de Chatelet for that one concert was worth more than the others I saw in Paris last year. His voice has haunted me since and will do so till that final day and I will smile with gladness that yes, I have heard this great musician and human being sing... Merci encore. 291 Zoli, Hungary 3 March 2006 Congratulations the Senesino Album! You've done tiptop! :) My fingers itch the in Budapest. 290 Berek, Japan 1 March 2006 Hi, I'm also from Japan and I\'m a big fan of yours. I hope you can visit Japan soon. I listen to one or other of your recordings almost every day. I sing with the Tokyo Oratorio Society and have switched a couple years ago from singing tenor to countertenor. You were one of the main inspirations for my wanting to sing countertenor. One of my wishes is to hear your voice live and meet you. 289 Dunja Klemm, USA 28 February 2006 Hallo Andreas, Ich bin ganz begeistert das ich am 13.5. mit meinem Mann zusammen in der NY Met deine Stimme persoenlich hoeren kann.Zwei Kiedricher in der NY Met! Ich hoffe ich kann dir nach der Oper einmal die Haende schuetteln! Gruss. Dunja Klemm geb. Bibo 288 Mario Gilio, Italy 22 February 2006 I would like one day to listen to him performing Couperin (Lecons de Tenebre). His voice and this masterpiece will drive me mad. 287 Yumie Takahashi, Japan 19 February 2006 The first time I listened/watched your beautiful and holy voice was at the TV show on BBC, with my best friend who is soprano singer late at night of Christmas day. We were so impressed and really wish you to visit Japan. Best wishes. 286 Wilma J Austin, UK 14 February 2006 I was intrigued to read of 'To the Dark Lady', music written especially for Andreas by Frank Zabel. What an absolute dream combination: Andreas Scholl and Wm Shakespeare. One of the greatest writers of all time and unquestionably, the greatest singer of our time. Already able to captivate, with your most gorgeous interpretation of Burns songs. The idea of hearing songs written for you, based on Shakespearian poetry, is thrilling! Hopefully, you 'll feel this warrants a recording and perhaps further recitals of the work which would be a very exciting prospect. To quote the bard, 'If music be the food of love, play on'. Andreas, do play on and on... as we will certainly be here to listen. Happy St Valentine's Day x 285 Hilde Simons, Belgium 6 February 2006 Thank God for such a wonderfull voice and the fact that you now it is a gift from Him! We awake and go to sleep with the arias of Heroes and Senesino and are looking out for new releases. God bless you and your family. 284 Sylvia The, Australia 1 February 2006 Hi Andreas, Finally you're coming 'down under' again! I've got tickets for this Saturday... can't wait to experience your voice once more. Your Australian visits are too few and too far apart! 283 Edith Naghiu, Germany 29 January 2006 Eine einfach himmlische Stimme -- ich bin überwältigt -- alles Gute. 282 Cagri Carikci, Turkey 24 January 2006 Please one more time in Istanbul/Turkey... thanks. 281 Peter Lang, Germany 23 January 2006 Hallo. Ich war im Konzert in Blieskastel anwesend und muss sagen ich war sehr begeistert von ihrer Stimme, Herr Scholl. Daneben von ihrer natürlichen Bühnenpräsenz, die nicht aufgesetzt oder künstlich wirkte sondern ganz wunderbar unaufdringlich normal. Was die Ausflüge ins Pop-Genre angeht so denke ich, wieso sollte man ab und zu nicht experimentierfreudig sein. Das verleiht dem Ganzen etwas Würze. Ich würde sogar soweit gehen, dass ich es sagen würde interessant wäre etwas von den Stylistics aus ihrem Munde zu hören. Mit Russell Thomkins hatten die eine aussergewöhnliche Falsett-Stimme. Die Motown-Orchestrierungen waren zum Teil richtig aufwendig und nicht mit heutigen Chart-Hits zu vergleichen. Beispielsweise "Can't give you anything but love" oder "You make me feel brandnew".Nun denn...alles gute weiterhin für die Zukunft und immer ausreichend Luft...Gruß 280 Alejandro Ramos, Mexico 20 January 2006 Andreas, I love your voice, and I have many of your records. I would like to hear you in person, here in México. My Best Regards. 279 Brigitte Riff, France 20 January 2006 Cher Maître, Je ne puis vous appeler autrement que "Maître" car j'ai eu l'occasion de "savourer" votre talent et toute l'émotion que vous mettez dans votre interprétation même quand il s'agit d'un concert pop-rock comme ce fut le cas hier soir dans la Katholische Kirche de Lautzkirchen. Pour moi vous êtes et resterez le plus grand et le meilleur, celui qui touche autant l'oreille et le coeur que l'âme. Le seul qualificatif qui puisse s'appliquer à vous: sublime! Et restez aussi simple que vous l'êtes; que le succès ne vous monte pas à la tête. Bravo ! 278 James Hall, UK 5 January 2005 I would just like to say a huge thank you to Andreas Scholl for being such a hero. I'm 17 and have spent the last 5 years trying to hide my falsetto ability. But Andreas has inspired me to bring it out and sing as much as I can which I have done with great professional success. You rock! 277 Antares Skorpion, Germany 5 January 2005 Wenn mich Ihre kristallklare Stimme berührt, dann habe ich meine glücklichsten Momente... Wenn ich mich freue, dann bewirkt Ihre Stimme, dass diese Freude nicht entfliehen kann... Wenn ich traurig bin, umarmt sie mich sanft und tröstend... Wenn ich in mich versunken und nachdenklich bin, holen Sie mich aus dem tiefsten Inneren meines Herzens zurück ins Leben. So wie die Jahre kommen und gehen, gibt mir die Klangfarbe ihrer Stimme Mut und Hoffnung - so lange ich lebe. Ich hätte Ihnen dies so gerne in meiner Muttersprache gesagt... 276 Madeleine Longhurst, UK 31 December 2005 Just to say what a treat it was to hear Andreas on the Radio 3 repeat of the Last Night of the Proms tonight. At uni, I did loads of research on Handel opera and got completely blown away by Andreas's interpretation of castrato arias. 275 Sabine, Austria 30 December 2005  Lieber Herr Scholl, Ein wunderbares neues Jahr fuer Sie und alle Ihre Lieben. Ich bin gespannt, was 2006 Neues bringen wird und freue mich besonders auf Blieskastel und Amor&Psyche! 274 Anne, Denmark 30 December 2005 Hi Andreas ! It has been a great year - musically - for you and us, with the success in Giulio Cesare (and the DVD finally coming out - soon?) the masterclasses in Snape and the Senesino tour. It has been a great pleasure to be there for most of it. Thank you for giving us so many unforgettable moments :-) We are right behind you on your musical path. Happy New Year Andreas!!! Take care. All best wishes. Anne. 273 Georga Starcz, Hungary 25 December 2005 Dear Andreas, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are looking forward to seeing you in J.S.B.

(I hope it's OK). Thank you for all the good moments. Go your own way, there will be always those who don't like changes no matter how good they are. 270 Ayesha Foot, UK 24 December 2005 Frohe Weihnachten! That's the limit of my German. Thank you for all the joy you give to so many people. Ayesha 269 Glynnis, USA 24 December 2005 Merry Christmas to you and your entire family. I hope that the New Year brings you as much joy as you have brought to all of your listeners. 268 Sabine, Austria 22 December 2005 Lieber Herr Scholl, Ich durfte heute Ihr Konzert in Wiesbaden miterleben und danke Ihnen und dem Ensemble Parnassi Musici fuer einen denkwuerdigen Abend, der mich Weihnachtsmuffel nun doch nachhaltig auf das Fest eingestimmt hat. Leider hatte ich nicht die Courage, Ihnen persoenlich "Frohe Weihnachten" zu wuenschen, als Sie nach der Auffuehrung noch in der Kirche verweilten. Ich hoffe, Sie lesen diese Zeilen! Herzlichst, Sabine. 267 Helen, USA 22 December 2005 Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and happy New year, Andreas! One of the best gifts I've received this year was the gift of your marvelous music. Best wishes for you in 2006. ^_^ 266 Tracee Alvord, USA 22 December 2005 Happy Holidays to Andreas and the Andreas Scholl Society. May your new year be filled with many new adventures. Cheers. 265 Sarah McEvoy, UK 22 December 2005 Herr Scholl - a very merry Christmas to you and your family, and I'm sorry I am not able to say it in German as I should like. Thank you for so much of the most sublime listening pleasure I have had this year. I am very much looking forward to hearing you live for the first time in the summer! 264 Zoli, Hungary 22 December 2005 Merry Christmas and happy New year!! 263 PinPin Chen, Taiwan 21 December 2005 Best wishes to Andreas and everyone here! Merry Christmas and happy New year!! 262 Sheila, UK 20 December 2005 Merry Christmas, Andreas! And all best wishes for 2006 – may it hold much happiness and success for you. I’m really looking forward to seeing you in Rodelinda in May. Thank you for your music. 261 Sheryl Haley, UK 20 December 2005 Love the music, love the voice, long may both continue. 260 Wilma J Austin, UK 19 December 2005 Dear Andreas, Hoping you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all you wish for yourself, in 2006. As we say in Scotland "Lang may yer lum reek!" In other words "A long and happy life to you!" With much love and thanks for the endless pleasure you bring into the lives of others. xxx 259 Liz Aylett, UK 8 December 2005 I fell under Andreas Scholl's spell in Salzburg and have been a fan of his voice and his human, committed and enthusiastic approach to music ever since. 258 Rana Tekcan, Turkey 8 December 2005 Last night Andreas Scholl sang in Istanbul. It was the most enchanting concert I have been in my life. His voice was more amazing than it sounded on any of his records. He touched everyone's soul in that crowded hall. His presence was so unassuming and easily confident, his artistry impeccable... Bless him for making so many people happy with his singing. 257 Mark Bennett, UK 7 December 2005 I wish to know the secret of your voice Andreas! I have trying to sing countertenor for about 3 years now and if i ever become half as good as you, i will be the happiest man alive. 256 Lou, Belgium 2 December 2005 Vous etes merveilleux. 255 Karolina, Poland 30 November 2005 Hello Mr Scholl, You have the most beautiful voice ever. Sadly the first time I heard your voice was this year at the BBC Proms in London, which is quite bad providing the length of time you have been already singing for. But I have completely fallen in love with your voice and I am going to be your fan forever! You are the best soprano, mezzosoprano, contratenor, you are the best of all !!!!!!! I hope I will have the opportunity to hear you live - any plans for concerts in the UK? All the best and luv! XXXXX 254 Rachel Anastasia, USA 29 November 2005 Hello, Mr. Scholl! I have only heard a few samples of your music, but I love it! Your voice is wonderful, and, what is even more rare, so is your taste in music! I hope you continue to sing and interpret the wonderful works of the great Baroque composers! God bless! Rachel, 16 yrs. old. 253 Barbara, Germany 26 November 2005 Sehr geehrter Herr Scholl, Vielen, vielen Dank für das wunderschöne Konzert am 23.11.05 im Münchner Herkulessaal und ich freue mich jetzt schon auf Ihren Auftritt in Nürnberg, wo ich selbstverständlich auch anwesend sein werde :-) 252 Ief, Belgium 25 November 2005 Last Saturday we did listen to a great performance by Andreas. Performing the music of his last record was just superb. Keeping on performing more then 2 bis numbers... the audience did not release the performers applause was going on to the end, end the orchestra was requested to leave the stage. Only then, the audience was willing to leave the hall. Superb!!! Only the greatest word are valid for this kind of performances. 251 Luis Francisco Romero, USA 21 November 2005 I just purchased your recording "The Voice" and I will never be the same. I can't thank Mr Scholl enough for his great artistry and his generosity of spirit. Will Mr. Scholl ever record "Cantate Romane" by Antonio Vivaldi. I have been trying to locate these gems for years. They were once (a long time ago on LP) recorded by Rene Jacob. 250 Nadia Dominguez, Mexico 17 November 2005 Is there any chance that you perform your art in Mexico? Please take it in consideration, many of us are not able to travel so far to be at the concerts abroad. 249 Helen, USA 16 November 2005 Great site! Being a new Andreas Scholl fan, I had no idea where to start exploring! But this site was VERY helpful, comprehensive, and interesting. Keep up the good work. And Andreas, if you are reading this, your voice is truly phenomenal. Astounding. Gorgeous. Words fail. 248 Christel Kollmann, Germany 10 November 2005 Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, lieber Andreas Scholl. Ich bin eine (alte) Verehrerin Ihrer Gesangskunst und Ihrer Gabe, die Herzen Ihrer Zuhörer zu berühren. Möge diese ganz besondere Fähigkeit vor allen Bemühungen um Perfektion Ihr Anliegen weiterhin sein! Alles Gute für Ihre weitere Sängerkarriere,und Dank für die Freude, die Sie durch Ihren Gesang bereiten! God Bless You. 247 Lieselotte Waldhoer, Switzerland 10 November 2005 Hallo, Herr Scholl! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag und ein reiches neues Lebensjahr vielleicht mit dem Motto "Nihil sine deo". 246 Ian Yanson, United Kingdom 10 November 2005 The concert in Manchester was awesome. Whenever I listen to Andreas's voice, it always gives me joy. Happy Birthday Andreas!

From Mexico, our heart and our best wishes for you always! 241 Anne Dean, United Kingdom 10 November 2005 Wishing you a very happy birthday and many, many happy returns - it was terrific to have the opportunity to sit in on the masterclasses you gave in Aldeburgh in August, and to meet you, too. Here's to the next 38 years! 240 Seran You, Republic of Korea 10 November 2005 Dear Mr. Andreas Scholl, Your gorgeous singings always bring me great joys. Your sacred songs make me peaceful. And among your recent Senesino CD, I and my daughter Haebin like Cara Sposa and Dove Sei. We (Haebin and I) often sing togetner with your Cara Sposa of it. She knew that song very well since she was very young. Also I hope Clara is always healthy and happy too. I'd like to thank God for my life with your songs in the same generation. Please always keep your health well and present us many beautiful songs! Happy Birthday! 239 Andrew, David, and Fay, USA 10 November 2005 Happy Birthday, Andreas! All the Best to You! Looking forward to seeing you next May in NYC! 238 Taeko Sugiyama, Japan 10 November 2005 A very happy birthday to you
:-D I found many treasures in your Arias for Senesino.
JUDO Spirit, I felt it in
your Giulio Cesare.
Japanese old fortunetelling tells that your 2006 will
get a big change.I hope it brings you more success.
Best wishes.
237 Eva Eder, Austria 10 November 2005 Lieber Andreas, Zum Geburtstag wünsche ich Dir
alles Liebe und Gute, Gesundheit, Erfolg, Spass und
was man im Leben sonst noch gut brauchen kann.Ich
freue mich schon sehr auf mein Geburtstagsgeschenk am

236 Kazuko Yanagida, Japan 10 November 2005 Dear Andreas!! Congratulations on the birthday of 38 years old. Your voice is a treasure. I love Senesino. I always pray for your happiness and health. A-RI-GA-TOU. 235 Naomi, United Kingdom 10 November 2005 I hope that you enjoy your birthday, Andreas, and that you have a healthy and happy year. With best wishes. 234 Eva Maria Fürste, Germany 10 November 2005 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Herzliche Grüße zum Geburtstag. Möge das neue Lebensjahr ebenso erfolgreich sein wie das laufende. Glückwunsch zum Auftritt bei der "Last Night" (Fairest Isle war Gänsehaut pur!) und zum Klassik Echo-Award .(Al lampo dell'armi war großartig für dad deutsche Fernsehpublikum!) leiben Sie gesund 233 Flavio, Spain 10 November 2005 Buon compleanno e tanti auguri... zum Geburtstag viel Glück! Lots of best wishes from a young countertenor at the Scholl Society. 232 Sally, United Kingdom 9 November 2005 Happy birthday, and thank you and Accademia Bizantina for a superb Senesino concert in London. Handel wrote so much for Senesino that there are plenty, plenty more gorgeous arias, buried in 4 hour operas, where they will never be found by the mainstream audiences without the help of singers like yourself. Can we hope for a Senesino II? ;-) I bet it would go straight to the top of the classical charts, as Arias for Senesino has done. Many thanks! 231 Barbara, United Kingdom 7 November 2005 Andreas, Just to say what a wonderful performance you gave on your return visit to Manchester's Bridgewater Hall last night. Fantastic! Even the problems with the harpsichord were amusing (for the audience at least!). Happy birthday for the 10th. Regards, Barbara. 230 Rafael, United Kingdom 7 November 2005 Dear Andreas, You are God's (or Nature's, if you prefer) greatest gift to mankind during our times. I hope you have a very long, healthy, and happy life: you trully deserve that as a compensation for all the joy you bring to music lovers all around the world. With best wishes for your birthday, Rafael. 229 Seran & Haebin, Republic of Korea 7 November 2005 Mr Scholl's Arirang is very beautiful. Recently we enjoy Mr Scholl's Cara Sposa very much. Happy Birthday to you! 228 Wilma J Austin, United Kingdom 7 November 2005 On Nov. 4th I had the enormous privilege to attend the wondrous Andreas Scholl's "Senesino - Handel's Muse" at Birmingham Symphony Hall. The heartfelt way in which the stories in the arias were unravelled before the audience, was truly exquisite. Cara Sposa in all its melancholic beauty, was particularly and wonderfully overwhelming. The whole evening was a most acutely amazing emotional experience,never to be forgotten. I was also overjoyed when I had the totally unexpected pleasure of meeting the great man, himself. Andreas, you are completely enchanting, giving your time with great warmth and kindness. I am honoured and humbled to count myself amongst your many adoring fans. Happy Birthday for the 10th, you deserve every good thing, for the sheer joy you bring to others. Many, many thanks and much love. x P.S The new "Perth Concert Hall" in Scotland is nice and centrally located, if perhaps, you might consider a future visit - hint, hint! 227 Lis Thomsen, Denmark 3 November 2005 Since I heard you as Julius Cesar at the Royal Danish Theatre in March 2005 I have been an Andreas Scholl addict. I have bought several of your CD’s, Heroes, Arias for Senesino, Nisi Dominus, Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, and Händel’s Messias and I have ordered the Bach Cantatas for Solo Alto, which I look very much forward to receiving. I listen to at least one of these CD’s every day and even my husband who is not as keen as I am on classical music and opera enjoys listening to your angelic voice and your wonderful interpretation of the music. Also my 4-year old grandson and my 6-year old granddaughter like the Nisi Dominus, to which I was listening when they visited me a few days ago. I have video-taped the televised recording of Julius Cesar and have already seen the whole opera several times. I sincerely hope that you will sing at the Royal Danish Theatre again in the near future, so that I can take my husband to the theatre to see you and listen to you. I would like to see and hear you in the role of Orpheus in Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Eurydike. My husband very much like the aria Que fera sensa Eurydike. 226 Floor Toot, Netherlands 3 November 2005 Yesterday night at the concerthall of Amsterdam. Scholl was fantastic as ever! Thank you, Andreas! 225 Gisela Hellemeier, Germany 1 November 2005 We've been to a great concert yesterday in Essen/Germany. Andreas Scholl and the Accademia Bizantina. The "Senesi-Tour" (Händel, Vivaldi,Albinoni). The simplicity of the interpretation - the lovely voice and the Accademia Bizantina and Ottavio Dantone - we simply loved it. 224 Cleves Baumgartner, France 29 October 2005 Looking forward to his recital at Châtelet on the 17th November.

Heartbreaking interpretation. For a singer to be physically shaken by the performance of another singer is unusual to say the least. Will be attending Andreas' next UK concert. Ganz ausgezeichnet and erstaunlich. Vielen dank. 206 Sarah Ellen Smith, United Kingdom 12 September 2005 Andreas was simply sublime at The Last Night of the Proms 2005. Thank you. 205 Luisa, Portugal 11 September 2005 Good Morning, Congratulations on the Brilliant Last Night of the Proms. I could not see it on TV from Portugal, but the Radio broadcast was enough to understand that it was a BIG success. The "Fairest Isle" was absolutely Magic. I'm proud of you. You are part of the Proms History now. First CT to perform on the Last Night. UAU!!! 204 Tjitte Muizelaar, Netherlands 11 September 2005 A perfect balance between "heart and soul" and pure professionality... The world needs such artists! 203 Pauline Middleton, United Kingdom 11 September 2005 A sublime voice - I could listen to him sing for eternity. 202 Patrick Donoghue, United Kingdom 11 September 2005 Andreas, you have the most beautiful & the most incredible voice I have ever heard. I heard you on BBC Last Night At The Proms this evening, at the Royal Albert Hall, London, and I was totally drawn into your beautiful singing. I didn't want you to finish the performance. I would have listened to you all night. God has truly blessed you immeasurably with this incredible gift. Come to London again please, as I would love to hear you sing once again live. You are by far the very best, the voice of an angel from Heaven itself.

Grazie. 196 Mette Sinding, Denmark 23 August 2005 Dear Andreas Scholl, This Saturday I saw the televised recording of Julius Ceasar from your perfomance in Copenhagen in March 2005. I loved it!

It's wonderful. 192 Emmanuel Sasuman, Philippines 11 August 2005 Nice site. 191 Stephanie Burli, France 10 August 2005 Merci de nous avoir enchanté, et donné des émotions musicales si douces à nos oreilles, lors du concert du 29 juillet 2005 à Beaune. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la disponibilité dont vous faites preuve à l'égart de votre public après votre prestation. Merci encore pour l'autographe et les photos. Habitant Arles, j'aimerais savoir si votre participation au festival d'Aix en Provence se confirmera un jour. À bientot! 190 Didier Collin, Belgium 3 August 2005 Cher Andreas, J'ai eu le plaisir de vous écouter ce 29/07/05 à Beaune, dans cette église où comme d'habitude, à votre écoute, l'émotion dominait.Merci pour tout ce que vous nous donnez. J'étais également très heureux de vous avoir rencontré peu après dans ce restaurant de Beaune où le plaisir de vous voir m'a quelque peu empêché de vous faire savoir à quel point mon admiration pour vous est grande et surtout qu'il n'est pratiquement pas un jour où je n'écoute pas ne fut-ce qu'un extrait de ce magnifique Stabat Mater de Pergolese que vous interprêtez avec tant de talent aux côtés de Barbara Bonney. Au plaisir de vous écouter en novembre à Bruxelles. Et encore merci pour votre talent et votre simplicité. 189 Christine Vuagniaux, Switzerland 2 August 2005 Cher Andreas, La découverte des "airs de Senesino" vendredi soir 29 juillet 2005 à Beaune me laissera un souvenir inoubliable.

Felicitaciones y te deseo toda la suerte del mundo. 185 Barbara Lawton, United Kingdom 17 July 2005 Great website! I know the Proms have only just started but I can't wait to hear you on the Last Night so that you can get an even wider audience. Best wishes for that concert. I will also be able to see and hear you again when you make a return visit to the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester in November. I was in the audience the last time you sang there - memorable!! The Giulio Cesare DVD sounds interesting too. 184 María García López, Spain 13 July 2005 Estimado Señor Scholl, Tuve el gran plazer de asisitir a uno de sus conciertos en el centro cultural "Alt -Frankfurt" de Sachsenhausen.

Vielen herzlichen Dank, dass Sie diesen Abend zu einen der unvergesslichen in meinem Leben gemacht haben. Mit Ihrer einfach außergewöhnlichen Stimme, Ihrer einzigartigen Interpretation und erfrischend-natürlichen Ausstrahlung ist es Ihnen mühelos gelungen, mich mitzunehmen auf eine (Klang)Reise in vergangene Zeiten. Vielen vielen Dank für diese verzauberten Momente! An diesem 3. Juli ist für mich ein großer Wunsch in Erfüllung gegangen: Andreas Scholl (den größten Countertenor unserer Tage) live zu erleben! Ich danke Ihnen auch für das Autogramm und hoffe auf ein Wiedersehen/-hören – vielleicht tatsächlich einmal in Bayreuth. Bis dahin wünsche ich Ihnen weiterhin viel Erfolg, stets gute Gesundheit und jede Menge Inspiration für Ihre eigenen Projekte. 178 Lutz, Germany 3 July 2005 Lieber Herr Scholl, Heute abend habe ich Ihr Konzert in Bad Ems gehört und war sehr begeistert - trotz Husten.

Ik hoop van harte dat u gauw weer in Nederland bent. Hartelijke groeten, Els. 162 Julia Steele, United States 8 February 2005 "Renaissance Muse" was the most delightful evening I've ever had in a theater. The blending of poetry and song highlighted the emotions and words of each. Andreas Scholl's singing and acting were amazing and his interaction with Laila Robins added to the whole effect and brought out the yearning, pathos and sexiness inherent in these works. I hope Scholl does this again! Knowing how good it is I would have gone all three nights! 161 Martin, USA 30 January 2005 I am so glad to have found this website devoted to the wonderful Andreas Scholl. I own three of his CDs and just bought another. Having heard him a number of times here in New York, I was delighted to hear him in "The Renaissance Muse" last night. I look forward to Rodelinda at the MET in Spring 2006. 160 Aldo Miranda, Mexico 9 January 2005 Es impresionante, simplemente celestial, gracias por compartir este regalo de tu voz, espero puedas ser aun mas difundido en paises latinos, para que podamos deleitarnos de escucharte. 159 Dianna Vosburg, United States 28 December 2004 Dear Mr Scholl, Your beautiful voice is full of thoughtful warmth, graceful purity, effortless clarity, and perfect artistic control. Please, please come to Boston! Best regards, Dianna 158 Luisa Leiria, Portugal 25 December 2004 I wish you a Merry Christmas full of love and friendship. I hope 2005 will bring you many more great successes. I'll do my best to be present and support you. I hope to see you in Portugal too. 157 Sheila, England 24 December 2004 Merry Christmas, Andreas! I also wish you a happy 2005. I'm looking forward to the concerts I already have tickets for - and of course, the opera in Copenhagen. Thank you for your music. 156 Eva Maria Fürste, Germany 14 December 2004 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Es war mir eine große Freude zu lesen, daß Sie Weihnachten im ZDF zu sehen sein werden. Endlich wieder ein Glanzpunkt im deutschen Fernsehen an Weihnachten! Leider konnte ich mich aus technischen Gründen nicht den Geburtstagswünschen anschließen. Wäre ich Alcina würde ich eine unsichtbare Haube zaubern, die Sie vor allen Keimen und Allergenen schützt. Leider bin ich nicht Alcina und kann nur alles Gute wünschen. Bleiben Sie gesund! 155 Eva, Czech Republic 10 December 2004 Mr Scholl´s voice totally took my heart. I have to listen to him constantly. My only wish is to see his performance, best in the Czech republic... I recommend his work to all my friends and even those who like punk rock are enchanted and fascinated. Merry Christmas to everyone. 154 Ahmet R Ekici, Turkey 6 December 2004 I really feel relieved when I hear his unique voice. 153 Lynn, United Kingdom 1 December 2004 Great voice, great site. I love the Korean song on this page and only wish the CD were available - what a waste that it is limited in that way. 152 Murielle, France 24 November 2004 I will never forget Rodelinda in the Châtelet theater, your voice is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Thank you. 151
Sam Penkett 11 November 2004 Happy Birthday for yesterday, Andreas! Hope you had a fabulous day! (Should have sent this yesterday, but didn't get a chance.) 150 Luisa Leiria, Portugal 10 November 2004 Happy Birthday to you! I know that this year will be full of success, especially in Mars and I wish that it would bring you happiness too. 149 Lieselotte Waldhoer , Switzerland 10 November 2004 Hallo, Herr Scholl! Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Glück und Erfolg in Ihren Unternehmungen sowie viel Freude und Harmonie für das neue Lebensjahr. Gott schütze Sie. Herzlichen Gruss. 148 Frédéric, France 5 November 2004 Cher Andréas! Plaisir à l'état pur , merci beaucoup pour votre incroyable performance du 2 Novembre 2004 au Théatre des Champs-Elysées Paris, nous avons tous ce soir là effleurés grace à votre voix les portes du paradis.Merci encore. C'est avec une grande impatience que nous attendons les prochains enregistrements des cd solo "senesino arias" ainsi que le dvd du Giulio Cesare. A trés bientôt , en attendant je file au Louvre découvrir le tableau de Poussin tout en écoutant Arcadia sur mon CD portable. 147 Maria, Germany 7 October 2004 Wahnsinns Stimme, toller Mann !!! 146 Mark Carter, United States 29 September 2004 Thank you for this site and the audio clip. Amazon has 30 second samples of Andreas' recordings, but they are mostly introduction! At this site, I could hear his magnificant voice very well. I'll be purchasing complete albums very soon! 145 Wendy Hughes, Australia 27 June 2004 Yesterday I
came upon a very interesting programme on TV about
countertenors. One of my family had been singing as a
countertenor in one of the big cathedrals here, in
Australia, but apart from that had never taken much
interest, even though I am a pianist. I was totally
enthralled by the marvellous voice of Andreas Scholl
and henceforth will follow his career with much
interest, and buy all the CD's I can!!
144
Allyson Schofield, Australia 11 June 2004 I still
remember the first time I heard Andreas Scholl's
voice. I was taking my two young daughters to the
swimming pool, they were very excited and chattering
loudly. Then this voice came out of the car radio
speakers, singing 'King Henry'. We all fell
completely silent and just listened to the beauty of
his voice. Not many singers could silence a four
year old and a two year old! Thank you,
Andreas, for your wonderful singing. Thank you for
coming to sing for us in Australia, and for your
wonderful concert in Vienna, Jan 23rd 2004, which I
was lucky enough to hear.
143
Margaret Marton and her friends, Hungary 21 May 2004 It is two
months since we have found Andreas website.
Unfortunately he has never been to Hungary yet, but
through videoclips, studio recordings and his
concert recordings we are enjoying his perfect
voice. Not only his artistical performance style,
but also his lovely personality makes him so
attractive. We are more and more who are not only
listening to his music but also searching for it. We
hope that he'll become more famous in Hungary soon.
Thank you for giving this opportunity of this came
true through your work.
142
Sally, United Kingdom 18 May 2004 Hoping that in your forthcoming "Senesino" CD, you may include one or more of the brilliant coloratura arias from Rinaldo: Or la Tromba, Venti, turbini. They are a showcase for your power and laser-clean flexibility. Horses for courses, and yours is the most heroic of countertenor voices. After this CD we will surely see you in more opera roles. I look forward to your Cesare in Copenhagen! 141 Mariateresa, Italy 3 May 2004 Celestiale - What else! 140 L Fraser, Australia 2 May 2004 I really enjoy listening to Arcadia. I like the subtle scansion in the Scarlatti aria. Cheers! L. 139 Leif Kristoffer Westermark, USA 30 April, 2004 You give inspiration to all musicians... 138 Anna-Maria, Western Australia 19 April 2004 I still treasure the memories of the concert in Perth a few months ago... 137 Joseph Wan, Republic of China/Taiwan 17 April 2004 Marvellous and remarkable voice on earth appeals any one but those with no souls. It is just unforgettable and fortunate to enjoy this clear and purely gorgeous voice. I sincerely hope my city, Taipei, could have such an honor to invite Mr Scholl to held a concert. May God bless this outstanding and charming countertenor. 136 Barbara, Germany 9 April 2004 Lieber Andreas Scholl, Ich zähle schon die Tage bis zu Ihrem Konzert am 28.04.2004 ... für mich ein trauriges wie auch schönes Datum. Jedesmal, wenn ich Ihrer Stimme lausche, liegt ein ganz besonderer Zauber in der Luft und dafür möchte ich Ihnen vom ganzen Herzen danken. Vielleicht ist es Ihnen auch möglich, sich bei Harmonia Mundi France für die Wiederveröffentlichung von Cantates Romaines II einzusetzen...sie würden einer Vielzahl von Bewunderern ein einzigartiges Geschenk machen. Vielen Dank! 135 Virginia, America 9 April 2004 I have searched in vain for a review of Mr. Scholl's concet in NYC on April 4 in the NY Times -- hard to believe they would ignore him. 134 Virginia, USA 6 April 2004 I just saw Mr. Scholl in person for the first time, in his recital at Alice Tully Hall. I have seldom heard such elegant, unforced singing -- and what a great stage presence. I look forward to seeing him again in NYC. 133 |

| Desde que escuché la
interpretación de Andreas Scholl de Euridice
descubrí la pureza de una voz expresiva y un
cantante único a quien admirar. Lo
autenticamente difícil de la música es
tranformarla en arte y es precisamente lo que este

dado este tiempo y espero que su voz nos siga tocando
el alma profundamente por mucho tiempo más. 132 |

February '04 I was fortunate to hear Andreas
performing in Amsterdam at the Concertgebouw. It was
quite an experience to hear such a voice!! Together
with the great performing Accademia Bizantina this
night is one to remember a long time. Afterwards
getting a signature on his latest album made me go
home happy. The only three ladies of the ensemble are
also proudly present on the Cd-booklet. Yolly!! 127 |

Andreas on a special about countertenors. He was
phenomenal, and I stayed up until 2am one night to

own enough Baroque music already...) Thanks so much
for sharing your gift. 126 |

| Je
n'ai malheureusement pas une connaissance très
étendue de la musique classique (du moins pas
encore), mais je dois dire que l'un de mes plaisirs
favoris en ce moment est d'écouter le superbe
enregistrement du Stabat
Mater de Vivaldi par Andreas Scholl et
l'ensemble 415. C'est tout simplement un
enregistrement magique, qui pousserait presque
à croire en l'existence du divin (je ne suis
pourtant pas croyante à la base!). Merci
infiniment, Mr Scholl, pour cet immense cadeau au
monde de la musique... 120 |

Last Monday Andreas sang in Madrid. The hall was

concert finished, Andreas signed me some cds. He is
a really nice guy. Andreas, thank you for your
wonderful voice. 115 |

| Music of Stabat
Mater is easy to foresee (my computer is
"slowthinking" so the music interrupted very often
and I had to guess which note will be next) but its
very beautiful. I mean: I had hard weekend but now I
see it wasn't so bad. That is what I want to hear in
music! 112 |

combinations who look like the vocal quality well
and are wonderful. I want to hear new CD by

Andreas Scholl. It would be a great hit, now
that both artists are such big stars. Thank you. 95 |

| Please could Cantatas
Romaines II (G F Handel,
© Decca, originally on Accord ) be
re-issued? This is a wonderful CD that many

included. I'm sure it would sell well. I personally
have been hunting for it for three years! 94 |

G F Symont, UK |
| 27 June 2003 |
| I think the cult around his person serves
him well. May get his leg pulled by his
colleagues, but it sells more recordings and concert
tickets. So half the audience fancies him - so what?
You're not going to stop that unless he performs
inside a paper bag. Human nature. 93 |

| I am a student of Harpsichord and early
music in Temple University in Philadelphia. One day
I was at a local music store and in the background
heard the best interpretation of Ombra mai fu, and
instantly knew it was a counter tenor. I went to the
counter and asked who was singing. I was told
it was Andreas Scholl. Immediately I bought my first
cd and have not stopped buying since then. That was
my first experience with, what is to me, the most
perfectly trained voice I have ever heard. Un gran
saludo a todos los hispano hablantes amantes del
gran arte de Scholl, es cuspide del arte vocal.
Ciao!! Abrazos. 87 |

| C'est mon premiere visite a votre site, et
je suis absolument émue! Je vous
remercie de me faire écouter des nouveaux
enregistrements magnifiques. À 1999
(peut-être) sa Rodelinda était
diffussée au japon, et la voix de M Scholl
m'a choquée. Elle était si belle et si
naturelle et c'était incroyable qu'elle
était celle d'homme faucette. De ce jour la
j'écoute ses CDs présque chaques
jours. Sa voix me console et me charme. Je me
souviens que au concert à Tokyo (avec Bach
Collegium Japan, décembre 2000) M.Scholl
chanta des cantatas de Bach et j'ai voulu pleurer
comme Magdalena! Sa voix était trop
belle, tres gentille et dévotée.
J'était étonnée parce que je
n'avait jamais eu tel experience. Quand il
viendra au japon? Il faut visiter souvent votre site
pour rensignement! 80 |

| Andreas Scholl have the most beautiful
contratenor voice ever! He sings with great
sensibility of text and dramaturgy. Every phrase is
perfect, full of calm or energy, of dramatic
expression or silent cry. My favourite records
are Vivaldi Stabat Mater and Nisi
Dominus . Of course, do not forget about all
Haendel's and Bach's recordings. He is
magnificent! 78 |

Rudi Romeri, Netherlands (living in Istanbul) |
| 21 April 2003 |
| Dear Andreas Scholl, I just read your biography, and saw that you started singing at a very young age. I started singing at 19 and went from bas/bariton to counter-tenor at about 30, having lessons on and off. Only this year (now I'm 40 years old) I started making money as a singer. Finally doing what I wanted most. I also heard many times: you can not make any money as a musician. I hope I can prove them different even at my age. I hope one of these days you want to listen to a demo I will send you and tell me what to do next. Thank you so much for your music and personal story! With love, Rudi Romeri. 77 |

Yo ignoro todo lo referente a registros de voz, coloraturas, técnicas y demás aspectos musicales de un cantante. Yo sólo sé que cuando te escucho me olvidó de todo y sólo existo para admirar tu bellísima e inigualable voz. Eres único. Eres el Rey. Agradezco a Dios por haberte creado y le pido que te conserve mil años más. God bless you always! 74 |

| I'm a amateur counter-tenor myself and
Andreas Scholl is absolute my favorite. His voice is
so warm and you can hear the love for his music and
the warmth of his personality. I'm living
since one year in Istanbul, Turkey, and am singing
in a restaurant. Sometimes before singing I listen
to Andreas Scholl to get into the right
feeling. Andreas, thank you so much!! 72 |

| Just got home from Barbican concert
(Pergolesi Stabat Mater with Camilla
Tilling & Scharoun Ensemble) - stunning
performance, although a couple of movements seemed a
bit slow compared with the recording with Barbara
Bonney/Les Talens Lyriques. Hated the first half of
the concert - some modern rubbish by a Russian
composer and to judge by the response of the
audience (heads buried in programmes, polite
unenthusiastic applause) I wasn't alone... we came
for the second half of the concert! Why do
concert promoters couple totally unrelated works in
a concert? So that they can say they had a packed
house for a performance? Well most of this
audience came to hear Andreas sing in the second
half and we merely tolerated the bit before the
interval! 71 |

| Andreas should urgently record the
(popmusic-like) song/songs of Oswald von
Wolkenstein, that he presented in the documentation
which was shown on ARTE-TV in February. It was
just a tiny bit that could be heard from one song,
but it was so wonderful and it would be really great
to have it on CD to enjoy the synthesis of the
computer sounds and Andreas' wonderful voice. 68 |

| As an aspiring countertenor, I can surely
say that Andreas Scholl is the greatest countertenor
this world has seen... If I can be as famous
as him, I'll be a very happy chappy... Oh, and
since William P has been rather cheeky, I thought I
would also take this opportunity to offer my
services as the world's next Andreas Scholl...

I sing in the "De Profundis Vocal & Instrumental Ensemble", and we'll play J S Bach's Johannis-Passion in this June, with the "Orquesta Barroca del Mercosur", both conducted by organist Cristina Garcia Banegas, and I really wish you can contact us. How can I do it? Best wishes for you. 52 |

which I plan to play this evening. I would
mostly like to belong to your group so that I can
find out when he will be appearing in New York City

seeing him a few times. I love Baroque music

Andreas for the first time. The charm of a wonderful

bought in Japan this year. I am impatient for the
next CD. 39

| I first heard and saw Andreas Scholl
singing at a performance of the Matthew's
Passion in Holland. He had been flown in to
stand in for another countertenor. The performance
was moving and I frequently listen to it - Bach
being my favourite composer. However, years, several
concerts and many CDs later, I am still amazed by
the beauty of his voice. I was lucky enough to see
Handel's Saul in the Concertgebouw in
Amsterdam 2 days ago. The whole performance was
splendid. Everybody performed exceptionally well,
but Andreas (as David) was tremendous. His arias
were breathtaking - he had the audience eating out
of his hands. I hope to visit many more concerts and
will enjoy his music on CDs for many years to come.
Andreas, keep up the good work! I'm so glad that you
have shared your talent with others. Greetings... 38 |

| I admire Andreas Scholl for many years. I
think he is the greatest countertenor of our time.
His voice has been a great comfort to me in
hard times. When he sings the Stabat Mater from Pergolesi and Erbarme dich from the Mattheus Passion from Bach I can never keep my eyes dry. I am very happy that he visits Holland in May next year and I am glad that I have tickets for his performance. I visit your site often to see if there is any news. 37 |

| I really enjoyed Wayfaring Stranger and
the surprise unveiling of Scholl's baritone voice in
a couple of the pieces. His use of different
voices to create a dramatic dialogue reminded me of
some of the Appalachian folksongs collected by John
Jacob Niles. I heard a lecture/performance by
Niles in Lexington KY -- Niles was a musicologist
and not a musician, unfortunately. But I think
there would be marvelous material for dulcimer and
countertenor if somehow Scholl could unearth a
collection by Niles. 36 |

| Actually Andreas
Scholl is my favorite countertenor. I discovered him
just a few months ago by listening to a cd of a
friend of mine. His voice is indescribable, for
sounding as an angel voice, or it would be better to
say an archangel voice. Currently I have most of his
cd's and recordings. However, I still dream of
hearing Scholl in the main role of Handel's opera Giulio
Cesare on recording. Who knows, what if
someday it will happen? I really hope so.
Bravo, bravissimo! 21 |

2001 festival by a fellow camper, Joop Schilperoord
- a great enthusiast. We were fortunate enough to
get some tickets for Mr Scholl's concert on 8 July
(Vivaldi Stabat Mater and Nisi Dominus
). It was a breathtaking experience in the
Basilica at Beaune – and after the concert we met Mr
Scholl in the cloisters - what a talented linguist
he is, forever changing between German, Dutch,
French and English! Previously we had booked tickets
for the London Proms concert (including Mr Scholl's
concert with the Australian ensemble on 31 August).
I look forward to experiencing again Mr Scholl's
performance of Nisi Dominus. 17 |

time to the autograph of Mr Scholl and Mr Suzuki

And after that, Mr Scholl, the members of BCJ and

restaurant near The Opera City Hall where the
concert held. Mr. Scholl was so nice and so
friendly. We spent very very joyful time. Now
we will send you 2 photographs of that night. The
first time when we listen to Mr Scholl's voice was 3
Countertenors almost 6 years ago. We confirm

countertenors. Thank you very much for reading. We
