Gerhard Hüsch (Hanover, February 2, 1901 – Munich, November 23, 1984) was one of the most important German singers of modern times. He specialized in Lieder, and to a lesser extent in opera. Between 1925 and 1942, Hüsch sang regularly at several German (as well as British and Italian) opera houses, primarily in Berlin from 1930 onwards. The role for which he is best remembered is that of Papageno in Wofgang Amadeus Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Gerhard+H%C3%BCsch"
