Max van Egmond was born in Semarang, Java, which then belonged to the Dutch, in 1936. He attended high-school in Holland and studied sociology an psychology for a time. He has also worked as a radio announcer with Radio Hilversum. He simultaneously completed a course in voice-training under Tine van Willingen, which has allowed him since 1959 to devote himself entirely to music. He has won several important singing competitions, for example in Hertogenbosch in 1959, in Brussels in 1962 and in Munich in 1964, and in 1966 he was invited to join UNAR ("Union International de Promotion artistique"). Max van Egmond is a lyrical bass-baritone with a particular bent for virtuoso Baroque music. His repertoire lies mainly in the field of oratorio but also comprises Lieder and Kammeroper. Besides appearing with several famous orchestras and giving Lieder recitals, this artist has contributed in no small degree to the success of many TELEFUNKEN-recordings of early music, ranging from the art of the minnesinger to the cantatas and passions of Bach.
