Jonas Kaufmann performs "O Lieb" by Liszt at the Opus Klassik Awards in 2022 with pianist Helmut Deutsch.

Jonas was honoured as Singer of the Year for his album "Liszt - Freudvoll und Leidvoll," and accepted a second award for the Opera Recording of the Year for Korngold's Die Tote Stadt (released on DVD and Blu-ray). Kaufmann accepted this second award on behalf of Kirill Petrenko, the Bavarian State Orchestra and his colleagues; the Bavarian State Opera production, which also recently won a Gramophone Award, features Kaufmann in the extremely demanding role of Paul.

Hailed as “the world’s greatest tenor” by The Telegraph, Jonas Kaufmann has performed over 70 roles in the world’s leading opera houses. The New York Times has described him as having “clarion top notes, the blend of virility and tenderness in his singing,” and praised his “refined musicianship.” Not only a great vocal technician, his performances are also praised for their dramatic impact, “He embodies each role with such an investment that he makes the viewer think that this is the last time he will perform this work.” (Telerama). One of today’s greatest interpreters of Lieder repertoire, Kaufmann is also in very high demand in concert. He has received multiple honors and awards including nine ECHO/OPUS Klassik awards, and “Singer of the Year” from multiple classical music magazines including Opernwelt, Diapason and Musical America.
