Biography
Martyn Hill, born September 14, 1944, in Rochester, Kent, England, is a British tenor. He studied at King's College, Cambridge, and the Royal College of Music before joining the Early Music Consort of London and the Consort of Musicke in 1966. Hill initially focused on medieval and Renaissance music, performing works by composers such as Henry Purcell and Giovanni Gabrielli. His repertoire expanded to include romantic Lieder and French mélodies, culminating in his performance of Benjamin Britten's "Les Illuminations" in 1976. From the late 1970s, Hill became a prominent figure in oratorio and opera, collaborating with conductors like John Eliot Gardiner and Richard Hickox on works ranging from Handel's Messiah to Britten's War Requiem. His discography includes notable recordings such as Boulanger: Mélodies (2008) and Hahn: Mélodies (2008).
