To speak of Christoph Prégardien is to speak of one of the most internationally re-
nowned German lyric tenors for his profound interpretations of the repertoire
of Lied, oratorio, and Baroque and Classical music. He has collaborated with orchestras such as
the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw, and many
other world-renowned ensembles, under the direction of masters such as Kent Nagano, Nikolaus
Harnoncourt, and Philippe Herreweghe. For her part, Pauliina Tukiainen is a
Finnish pianist specializing in Lied, recognized as both a performer and profes-
sor of Lied. She studied piano in Finland and Frankfurt, and Lied with Hartmut Höll
and Anne Le Bozec in Zurich and Karlsruhe, receiving artistic inspiration from leading figures such as
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Thomas Hampson, among others.
