Johannes Reichert grew up in Bilbao and spent several years in Bogotá and Venice. He studied singing at the College of Music in Wuerzburg and graduated as one of the first German countertenors with a soloist diploma. He took lessons with legendary countertenors like Charles Brett in Winchester and worked as scholarship holder at the Haendel festival, Karlsruhe with James Bowman and Paul Esswood. This was followed by studies with Boyan Stoilov in Paris and David Jones in New York. His studies with Hans-Josef Kasper in Germany played a decisive role in his career. His participation at the Concorso Lirico Internazionale “Vissi d’Arte” brought him great appreciation of the jury members Mirella Freni and Gianni Raimondi. Besides his work with well-known ensembles of Early Music for example Deutsche Bachvocalisten, Musica Fiata Köln, Kammerchor Stuttgart, Concerto Köln, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Ensemble Elyma, he can be mainly found on the scenic stage. Concert tours and engagements took him to many European countries as well as Israel, South America, Japan and the U.S. Together with saxophonist Ralf Altrieth, he founded in 1999 the much-noticed record company meta records. Johannes Reichert’s career is documented by more than forty vinyl and CD recordings, e.g. for Bayer Records, Sony, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, BMG, Christophorus and meta records, of which several won prestigious awards, as well as radio, DVD and television recordings.
