Career Highlights

Here is what I have been able to find about Kröger's career so far (except for the various recordings), based partly on a couple of bios and interviews--in German, so misunderstandings on my part are quite possible. :) A good deal of the info has been provided by Ursula and Alexandra; thank you again for all your work! As always, any additions, corrections, or more detailed information would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
