Die schöne Müllerin (The Fair Miller Maid), a cycle of twenty songs, is one of the greatest and most beloved of all Schubert’s hundreds of Lieder. As a student Christian Gerhaher attended the opera school of the Munich Musikhochschule, where he sang Papageno in Mozart’s Zauberflöte under the direction of Sir Colin Davis and participated in Helmut Deutsch’s Lieder classes with Gerold Huber, who was to become his regular accompanist. He also took courses with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Inge Borkh. In 1998, he won the International Award Pro Musicis in Paris/New York. In 2002, he was awarded the German prize Echo Klassik for Best Lied Interpretation for his recording of Schubert’s Winterreise. Following his international Lied debut in the chamber music hall at Carnegie Hall, he has performed as a guest with the Leipziger Gewandhaus, Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Gerold Huber studied piano with Friedemann Berger and Lied performance with Helmut Deutsch at the Munich Musikhochschule as well as with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in Berlin. In 1998 he won the International Award Pro Musicis in Paris and in 2001 was prizewinner of the International Piano Competition Johann Sebastian Bach in Saarbrücken.
