Info for Schubert: Licht und Schatten

This second volume of lieder explores the masterpieces of the years 1824 and 1825. Following a period of self-doubt and despondency at the diagnosis of a disease he knew to be incurable, Schubert regained hope thanks to the support of his friend, the baritone Johann Michael Vogl. Samuel Hasselhorn and Ammiel Bushakevitz take us on a wonderful journey from darkness to light.

Samuel Hasselhorn
born in Göttingen in 1990, is now one of the most influential performers in his field. After studying in Hanover and Paris and winning major prizes – most notably the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2018 – he has established himself internationally on the opera stage as well as in the field of song and concert performance.

As an opera singer, Hasselhorn was initially a member of the ensemble at the Vienna State Opera and then at the Nuremberg Opera. Today, he regularly performs at major opera houses such as the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden, the Frankfurt Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, and La Scala in Milan. In the 2025/26 season, he will make his debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona in a new production of Mozart's “Le nozze di Figaro” as Conte Almaviva and at the Baden-Baden Easter Festival as Heerrufer (Lohengrin) under the baton of Joana Mallwitz. He will return to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden under the baton of Christian Thielemann as Barbier Schneidebart in “Die schweigsame Frau“, as well as for the world premiere of Matthias Pintscher's “Das kalte Herz“ and concerts featuring Brahms' Requiem, which he will also sing in a staged production at the Opéra Rouen.

Other performed roles include the title roles in Don Giovanni, Eugene Onegin, Pelléas et Mélisande, Mathis der Maler, and Il barbiere di Siviglia, as well as Wolfram von Eschenbach (Tannhäuser), Gabriel von Eisenstein (Die Fledermaus), Papageno (Die Zauberflöte), Fritz/Frank (Die tote Stadt), Guglielmo (Cosí fan tutte), Belcore (L'elisir d'amore), Harlequin (Ariadne auf Naxos), and Ford (Falstaff). Guest engagements have taken him to opera houses in Paris (Opéra Bastille), Brussels (La Monnaie), Florence (Maggio Musicale), Palermo, Toulouse, Darmstadt, Caen, Erfurt, Rouen, and the Theater an der Wien, where he worked with the leading conductors of our time: Daniel Barenboim, Christian Thielemann, Joana Mallwitz, Thomas Guggeis, Nathalie Stutzmann, Alain Altinoglu, Mark Minkowksi, Adam Fischer, Sebastian Weigle, Philippe Herreweghe, Laurence Equilbey, and Ivor Bolton.

Together with baritone Samuel Hasselhorn, he will release the second album of the “Schubert 200” project in February 2025 on the Harmonia Mundi label. The first album, Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin, was awarded the Diapason d’or de l’année in 2024.

In 2013, Ammiel Bushakevitz released his debut solo CD, an album of piano works by Schubert. The recording became the soundtrack for the Austrian film Gwendolyn.
