Kurt Huber (tenor)

[5] A reviewer described his performance: He sings with excellent, plangent tone and is wonderfully fluent in the very difficult chromatics of his aria ... Much though I admire Helmut Krebs I think that Huber actually makes a more ingratiating sound.

[6] Kurt Huber has appeared in Handel's oratorios Messiah, Judas Maccabaeus, Israel in Egypt, Samson, Saul and Joshua.

[8] With the choir Philharmonischer Chor Schwäbisch Gmünd he performed Haydn's Die Schöpfung (The Creation) in 1971 with Ursula Buckel and Roland Hermann, Bruckner's Mass No.

3 and Te Deum with Kari Løvaas, Hildegard Rütgers and Günter Reich, and Verdi's Messa da Requiem in 1987, also in the Münster of the Zwiefalten Abbey.

Huber's recordings besides Bach have included rare repertoire such as Carissimi's oratorio Jephte, a Magnificat of Claudio Monteverdi and a Magnificat of Heinrich Schütz, all with the Spandauer Kantorei and Helmuth Rilling, German Lieder by Ludwig Senfl, and the oratorio Das Gesicht Jesajas (The Vision of Isaiah) op.
