Klaus Groß (also: Klaus Gross ) (* 1921 ; † February 18, 1971 ) was a German singer with a baritone voice .

Life

After the Second World War , Groß took singing lessons in late 1945 . In 1948 he received a three-year contract as a choir singer with the Magdeburg Municipal Theaters . A solo career was not possible for him at that time. Then he was a member of the Chamber Choir of the NWDR in Cologne .

From 1950, Groß worked as a soloist and switched to the “ light muse ”, although he was actually geared towards classical music . By 1955 he is said to have recorded around 300 titles. Most of them were recordings for the radio , to a lesser extent they were recordings on vinyl . In the early 1950s, the operetta radio recordings " Carnival in Rome " (composer: Johann Strauss ) and " Liebe im Dreiklang " (composer: Walter W. Goetze ) were made. He also worked in the two feature films "Three Girls in Endgame" (1955) and "My Wife Makes Music" (1957).
