It has been a very long time since Sony Classical have added a new artist.

It’s so long ago, the last one might have been Jonas Kaufmann.

But never say never at Sony.

Yesterday they brought out the fountain pen for the London-basedĀ German baritone Benjamin Appl, a member of the BBC New Generation artists scheme.

    Saw him last week in Barcelona. It was a very long time since I had not been sop bored by a singer. The dullest Dichterliebe I have ever listened to.

  • Christopher Rosevear says:

    Just not for the $70+million they are giving Adele)

  • V.Lind says:

    I don’t think “giving” reflects the business practice of the record labels. Adele will earn far more for the label than this kid ever will.

  • Bruce says:

    Well, he’s certainly pretty to look at. I hope he can sing.
