On his debut solo album, German tenor Richard Resch presents a selection of early Baroque cantatas and other vocal music works from northern Germany. Together with Ensemble La Silla, he explores this beautiful but not so well-known repertoire, including two world premiere recordings of rediscovered works by Johann Friedrich Meister and Gottfried Philipp Flor. Born in Regensburg, the tenor Richard Resch received his first musical training at the humanistic music school of the Regensburger Domspatzen, where he came into contact with a broad musical repertoire from the very beginning and was able to work with many well-known artists. After graduating from high school, he first studied elementary music pedagogy, piano and singing pedagogy at the Nuremberg-Augsburg University of Music, among others with Agnes Habereder. The pedagogical studies were followed by singing studies with Prof. Hans-Joachim Beyer as well as with Edda Sevenich and Prof. Dominik Wortig at the Leopold Mozart Center of the University of Augsburg. As part of his lively activity as a concert and opera singer, engagements have taken him to various houses such as the Augsburg and Braunschweig State Theaters, the Bregenz State Theater, the Opéra National de Bordeaux and the Bavarian State Opera, as well as to festivals such as the Bach Festival in Leipzig, the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, the Festival Bach Montréal, the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, the ION Musica Sacra in Nuremberg, the Munich Opera Festival, the Musikfest Stuttgart, the Rheingau Music Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and the Salzburg Mozart Week.
