Heroes, a disc of arias by Handel, Mozart, Hasse and Gluck; Robert Dowland's A Musicall Banquet; Vivaldi Motets with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra; Wayfaring Stranger, a selection of specially arranged English and American folksongs with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra; Arcadia, a collection of rare and unpublished cantatas by composers from Rome’s Arcadian Circle with Accademia Bizantina; and Pergolesi's Stabat Mater with Les Talens Lyriques are all released on the Decca label. His discography also includes Solomon and Saul with the Gabrieli Consort under Paul McCreesh for Deutsche Grammophon's, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Monteverdi's Orfeo and 1610 Vespers, and Gramophone Award-winning recordings of Vivaldi's Stabat Mater and Caldara's Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo, all on Harmonia Mundi. He also features on the soundtrack of the film version of The Merchant of Venice which stars Al Pacino, and is winner of the 2006 Classical Brit Singer of the Year award for his latest solo release, Arias for Senesino. A committed recital artist Andreas Scholl performs in the world's leading concert halls and festivals and concert performances have included appearances with The Cleveland Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Akademie fu¨r Alte Musik Berlin, Freiburger Barockorchester and Münchner Philharmoniker. He made his operatic début as Bertarido (Rodelinda) at Glyndebourne Festival Opera and recently made his critically acclaimed début at The Metropolitan Opera in the same role. He appears regularly at the BBC Proms, making history as both the first counter-tenor and the first German to perform at the Last Night in 2005. Highlights later this season include staged performances of Bach's St John Passion at Théâtre du Chatelet under the baton of Emmanuelle Haim and a new recital programme of works by John Dowland and his contemporaries which will be performed with the Basel based consort Concerto di Viole. Born in Germany, Andreas Scholl's early musical training was with the Kiedricher Chorbuben. He later went on to study under Richard Levitt and René Jacobs at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. He is a winner of the 1999 ECHO Awards, Prix de l'Union de la Presse Musicale Belge and the Middle Ages/Renaissance category of the 2002 Edison Awards for his recording of A Musicall Banquet. He won a second ECHO Award in 2005 for his composition of music for Deutsche Grammophon's audio-book of Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes and The Nightingale. 2006/07 season only.
