About David Wilson-Johnson

Hometown

London, England, UK

Born

1950

Genre

Classical

Bass, baritone, and bass-baritone David Wilson-Johnson has performed internationally and has made notable recordings of contemporary works. For many years, he was equally devoted to opera, concert music, and art song, and he is exceptionally prolific as a recording artist. Wilson-Johnson made his professional opera debut at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden in 1976 in Hans Werner Henze's We Come to the River. An early digital recording in 1987 featured Haydn's Mass in D minor ("Lord Nelson"), H. 22/11. In song repertory, Wilson-Johnson performs in many languages and has been associated with pianist David Owen Norris since his student days. Wilson-Johnson has made more than 200 recordings, not all of them in the classical field. Wilson-Johnson has remained active into old age, and he appeared in 2024 on a newly released 1997 recording of Havergal Brian's opera The Cenci.

David Wilson-Johnson has also released music as a member of The Choir of the London Oratory, Monteverdi Choir, and BBC Singers.
