Hans Hotter (19 January 1909 – 6 December 2003) was a German operatic bass-baritone. He was extremely tall and his appearance was striking. His voice and diction were equally recognisable.
Born in Offenbach am Main, Hesse, Hotter studied with Matthäus Roemer in Munich. He worked as an organist and choirmaster before making his operatic debut in Opava in 1930.
He performed in Germany and Austria under the Nazi regime, avoiding pressure on performers to join the Nazi Party, and made some appearances outside the country, including concerts under the baton of Bruno Walter in Amsterdam, who advised him that if Hotter could not leave his family members he had little alternative but remain in Germany. Hotter was unable to pursue an international career until his Covent Garden debut in 1947. After that, he sang in all the major opera houses of Europe. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut as the title role in The Flying Dutchman in 1950. In four seasons at the Met, he performed 35 times in 13 roles, almost all Wagnerian.
Hans may refer to:
Gerald Moore CBE (30 July 1899 – 13 March 1987) was an English classical pianist best known for his career as an accompanist for many famous musicians. Among those with whom he was closely associated were Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Elisabeth Schumann, Hans Hotter, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Victoria de los Ángeles and Pablo Casals.
Moore gave lectures on stage, radio and television about musical topics. He also wrote about music, publishing volumes of memoirs and practical guides to interpretation of lieder.
Moore was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, the eldest of four children of David Frank Moore, owner of a men's outfitting company, and his wife Chestina, née Jones. He was educated at Watford Grammar School, and took piano lessons from a local teacher Though innately musical, with perfect pitch, Moore was a reluctant piano student: he later said that his mother had to drag him to the piano, "an unwilling, snivelling child – I did not absorb music into my being until my middle twenties."

"Die Verleumdung, sie ist ein Lüftchen" (La calunnia è un venticello) Joseph Keilberth, Bayerischen Staatsoper München, 1959
Just beautiful. Piano: Gerald Moore. Liederkreis Op.39, Robert Schumann. Gedichte: Joseph von Eichendorff "Es war, als hätt' der Himmel /Die Erde still geküsst,/Dass sie im Blütenschimmer/Von ihm nun träumen müsst'./Die Luft ging durch die Felder,/Die Ähren wogten sacht,/Es rauschten leis' die Wälder,/So sternklar war die Nacht./Und meine Seele spannte/Weit ihre Flügel aus,/Flog durch die stillen Lande,/Als flöge sie nach Haus."
Hans Hotter singing the first Lied of the song cycle "Winterreise" by Franz Schubert. He is accompanied by the great Michael Raucheisen. The recording was made in 1943. Hotter voice is more slender than in his later recordings, and to me he seems more involved. I consider this, along with Gerhard Hüsch's 1933 recording, to be the finest Winterreise ever recorded.
