Autograph is a new box set collection, drawn from the EMI, ERATO and TELDEC catalogs. Each box set is dedicated to an artist, and provides a biographical overview through a number of themed CDs. The contents of each box set are personally selected by the artist himself, and it also includes a recent interview. On the occasion of his 60th birthday, Thomas Hampson is unquestionably the greatest baritone since the retirement of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Like his illustrious elder, he has sung and recorded in every style - opera, operetta, lied, mélodie, musical theater - and from every era and in every language - Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, Gounod... - with equal success, thanks to his powerful and clear voice, his outstanding technique, and his magnetic presence. Thomas Hampson has been imposing his elegant and powerful baritone for more than 30 years. The 12th CD is an interview dating from 2014. A superb tribute box set from one of the foremost opera artists of our time.
