Quote
"Sch. has a masculine-beautiful-sounding, dark-colored tenor voice, which is masterfully trained and which he has learned to use with great care, taking every gimmicky. He is one of those good singers who always delight with praiseworthy performances. His repertoire extends to all tenor areas and his melodious voice is best expressed everywhere. His extensive repertoire includes “Faust”, “Gomez”, “Silvain”, “Max”, “Tamino”, “Octavio”, “Contrand” (golden cross), “Marot” (“Two Kings”), “Walter” Stoltzing “ec. As early as 1891, Sch. invited to Bayreuth, where he embodied the “Knappen” in “ Parzifal ” and the “Seemann” in “ Tristan und Isolde ”. There he successfully brought the "Knappen" back to life again in 1897. "
