DALTON BALDWIN
Famous for his performances in concerts with figures such as Elly Ameling, Jessye Norman and William Parker, he has collaborated for a long time with the baritone Gerard Souzay, with whom he has compiled a large number of Lieder and made more than fifty recordings of composers such as Fauré, Debussy, Poulenc, Dupark and Ravel (those of the latter with Teresa Berganza, José Van Dam and Jessye Nor­man with whom he obtained the Grand Prix du Disque). He combines his performing with teaching and artistic management, in which he has had great success and has assisted promising young musicians. In 1984 he has awarded the Doctorate in Music by the Oberlin Conservatory.
