About

„Son beau timbre boisé et sombre se conjugue avec une réelle agilité, surtout dans le médium et le registre aigu, ce qui lui permet de développer des phrasés admirables et d’un goût parfait, façon Kavalier-baryton viennois. (…) Son pouvoir de coloration du timbre est réel, et il en fait un usage discret et efficace dans l’excellent Erlkönig de Loewe. Son élocution est excellente, et il porte les mots dans tout l’éclat de leur sens. Mais il peut aussi prendre du volume et de la noirceur, portant ainsi le Belsatzar et Die beiden Grenadieren à une dimension épique et tragique réellement impressionnante.„

"Konstantin Krimmel is only 28 years old, and already he is one of the greats in the Lied field. The maturity, differentiation and perfection of his technically simply brilliant singing left a deep impression. At the same time, his interpretative approach seems completely natural, each song seems to be experienced, its expressive content is grasped and explored - and last but not least, the lyrics are declaimed flawlessly and clearly".

"Another young baritone, Konstantin Krimmel, is the standout in a new recording of Handel's Brockes Passion on the Alpha Classics label. With a richness of nuance schooled in lieder singing, Krimmel gives the figure of Jesus a deeply feeling human face. Together with colleagues such as the exquisite tenor Stuart Jackson and the slender Arcangelo ensemble, he succeeds in bringing out the touching moments - and pushing the baroque swagger of the piece into the background."

Brockes Passion - CD

"And soprano Sandrine Piau (Daughter of Zion), tenor Stuart Jackson (as the Evangelist) and baritone Konstantin Krimmel as Jesus succeed in eliciting touching and comforting features from every lament, however harrowing and sympathetic."

"Konstantin Krimmel's equally superlative Jesus: his heartbreaking accompanied recitative "Mein Vater", in triptych, between abandonment and inner light, is one of the highlights of this disc. Almost making you forget the "Es ist vollbracht" of Bach's St. John's Day!" Saint-Jean de Bach!"
