Life
Already at a young age one became aware of the voice of Moest, the son of the sculptor Karl Friedrich Moest , and it was first Carl Speigler and later Fritz Plank who showed him to the stage. He took lessons from Carl Hermann and Franz Krückl and began his stage career in Strasbourg in 1882, where he made his debut as "Ruggiero" in Jüdin and stayed for four years. In 1896 he joined the association of the court theater in Hanover, to which he belonged until 1914.
In 1900 he made a guest appearance at the Frankfurt Opera House in June and at the Court Theater in Vienna in November. In 1909 he was "King Heinrich" in Lohengrin and "Titurel" in Parsifal at the Bayreuth Festival . In 1914 he went to the Court Opera in Vienna, where he had great success as "Hans Sachs" in the Meistersinger . Guest performances brought him to the court theater in Karlsruhe (1902), to the Berlin court opera (1903–1910), to Cologne (1905–1908), to von Dresden (1906), Munich and Stuttgart, to the German theater in Prague (1907, 1909) and Weimar.
On the day of his death he was still singing in Vienna.
His bass voice has been preserved on Parlophon, Odeon and Pathé records.
Moest's brothers were the sculptor Hermann Moest and the actor Friedrich Moest .
