Rudolf Schock
German tenor (1915–1986)
Rudolf Johann Schock (4 September 1915 – 13 November 1986) was a German tenor.
Rudolf Schock was born in Duisburg, in the PrussianRhine Province.
He sang a wide repertoire from operetta to Lohengrin, recording among others opera and lieder, doing television, radio and film work.[1] Slim and handsome,[citation needed] he made many films.
His voice fell almost into the heldentenorfach but was smaller and more ardent than many voices in that category.[2] Colored distinctly with a rich baritonal quality,[citation needed] Schock is described by Grove as a "lyric tenor" with a warm flexible voice, and a "strong top voice" which suited him to "heroic roles".
However the same source feels that his acting left something to be desired.[1]
When he was 18 and still continuing his musical studies that took him to Cologne, Hanover and Berlin, Schock joined the opera chorus at Theater Duisbu
