Born: Stuttgart, Germany
The German bass, Cornelius Hauptmann, studied at the Music Academie of his hometown. In 1982 he passed the examination for stage qualification and, as a student of Jakob Stämpfli, he graduated from the Conservatory Bern and received his diploma as soloist. Master-courses with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hans Hotter, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Eric Tappy added considerably to his artistic development and led to numerous awards and acknowledgements at international singing contests.
Cornelius Hauptmann´s first engagement was at the State Theatre in Stuttgart and until 1989 he was member of the opera ensembles in Heidelberg and Karlsruhe. During the past years he was mainly engaged in singing Mozart – in Munich, Leipzig, Orléans, Paris (Bastille and Châtelet), Lisbon, Madrid, Lyon, Berlin (Deutsche Oper), Amsterdam, Zürich etc. under such conductors as Mehta, John Eliot Gardiner, Marba, Hollreiser, Nagano, Haenchen and others. Predominantly in the concert area he became internationally known under such conductors as Frieder Bernius, Bernstein, Bertini, Michel Corboz, John Eliot Gardiner, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Christopher Hogwood, Neville Marriner, Kurt Masur, Helmuth Rilling and others.
Many recordings are proof of his artistic diversity: The Bach-Passions, Mozart`s Masses and Operas, Schumann`s Paradies and Peri (Gardiner/DG), Monteverdi, Schubert, Schütz, Mendelssohn (Frieder Bernius), Haydn`s Stabat Mater (Pinnock/DG), Oedipe by Enescu (Foster/EMI), The Magic Flute (Roger Norrington/EMI), Beethoven`s Missa Solemnis (Philippe Herreweghe/Harmonia Mundi), Mozart`s Requiem and c-minor Mass (Bernstein/DG), as well as other recordings.
Hauptmann favours the German Lied; after recording Lieder by Loewe, Silcher, Schubert, Mozart/Hoffmeister another recording with Schubert Lieder is in the offing. Lieder-concerts, at home and abroad, regularly augment his appointments.
