VOICE welcomes Bass Edwin Crossley-Mercer for General Management
9/4/2024
Immaculate, Exemplary, and Impeccable are just some of the critical plaudits associated with Anglo-French Edwin Crossley-Mercer. Since the outset of his career in 2006, Edwin has been a regular presence on the stages of Europe’s major opera houses and concert halls as a Bass-Baritone focused on the principal roles of Mozart, Rossini, Handel and Rameau. Today, Crossley-Mercer’s Bass voice lends itself to a rich repertoire of roles by composers including Beethoven, Berg, Britten, Strauss, Verdi and Wagner, along with his natural affinity for the French composers Berlioz, Gounod, Massenet and Meyerbeer.
From debuts at the prestigious Glyndebourne, Aix-en-Provence and Salzburg Easter Festivals, to performances with the renowned orchestras of Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London and Los Angeles, an exemplary musicianship has allowed Crossley-Mercer to embrace a wide-ranging repertoire of roles. Across the baroque, classical and contemporary styles, Edwin has collaborated with some of the finest conductors of our day including Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel, Andris Nelsons, Philippe Jordan, Riccardo Minasi, Leonardo García Alarcón, Daniel Harding, Sir Simon Rattle, and Sir Mark Elder.
In concert, Crossley-Mercer has amassed a broad and varied concert repertoire including Beethoven’s Symphony No.9, Haydn’s Die Schöpfung, Handel’s Messiah, Rossini’s Stabat Mater, Janacek’s Glagolitic Mass, Schumann’s Paradies und die Peri, Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex and Bach’s Matthäus-Passion. A sought-after recitalist and former student of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Edwin Crossley-Mercer’s discography includes several baroque programmes, a collaboration with American composer Michael Linton on Carmina Catulli and Wilde Songs, a compilation of mélodies by Nadia Boulanger, and Schubert‘s Die Winterreise.
VOICE is delighted to welcome Edwin Crossley-Mercer to its roster for worldwide management.
