Ensemble
Hamburger Ratsmusik
The ensemble Hamburger Ratsmusik has had a long and close association with Johann Philipp Krieger. After all, his operas were performed by the original group during the composer’s lifetime at the Oper am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg. Over a decade ago, the ensemble revived Krieger’s cantatas from the Bokemeyer Collection, performed them at Schloss Gottorf, and recorded them on CD. This exploratory work led to creative collaborations and friendships, as with the Krieger scholar Dr. Klaus-Jürgen Gundlach. The performance of the Musicalischer Seelen- Frieden in the place for which it was written, the Weissenfels Schlosskirche, was one of the highlights in this regard. However, the greatest surprise came from another Herr Krieger, who spoke to the Hamburger Ratsmusik musicians after a concert in Altdorf in Franconia, and then showed them his ancestors’ charter of nobility from Emperor Leopold. This CD, which the ensemble recorded with Doro thee Mields, forms part of this living tradition. In recording these concert her indescribable and committed singing, always guaranteed a thrilling experience. After 21 years of working together as an ensemble, 25 CDs – almost all world premiere recordings – numerous concerts, two Echo-Klassik awards and a growing enthusiasm for the music of the Renaissance, Baroque, and classical periods, Hamburger Ratsmusik is looking forward to more discoveries and projects.

Since she received her diploma in Early music in 1990 at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, she has been active as viola da gamba player, as artistic director, agent and manager of her ensemble Hamburger Ratsmusik, as musicologist, editor of newly rediscovered music for viola da gamba and as a music pedagogue in and around Hamburg.

Reviews
Im Lutherjahr schnell noch ein paar Luther-Weihnachtslieder hören? Gut möglich dank dieser CD, auf der hervorragende Sänger ... Renaissance- Bearbeitungen von jahreszeittypischen Liedern ... präsentieren.
taz nord, 25./26.11.2017
... it is an outstanding survey disc that features a number of quite obscure names that any fancier of Renaissance-era music will wish to add to his or her library.
Fanfare, James A. Altena, 06.02.2017
For the record, the choir is fine, the Staatskapelle Weimar is a magnificent orchestra, and the recording is admirably vivid.
Nigel Harris, MusicWeb International, 03.01.2017
Das alles wird sehr klangschön vorgetragen; wer sich für die Anfänge der evangelischen Kirchenmusik interessiert, der sollte sich diese CD unbedingt anhören.
ouverture, 28.12.2016
Entstanden ist eine inhaltlich, wie musikalisch besondere CD-Produktion, abwechslungsreich und spannend hinsichtlich der unterschiedlichen Umsetzung der bekannten Luther-Lieder[...].
Alexander Gosch, mdr Klassik, 24.12.2016
This is a beautiful collection of Luther’s music, presented through the arrangements of six generations of composers.
WTJU, Ralph Graves, 22.12.2016
Playing and singing are first-class and the performers have found the right approach to this repertoire.
musica Dei donum, Johan van Veen, 08.12.2016
Die CD ist eine Reise in eine längst versunkene Welt, auf die sich doch unser abendländisches Selbstverständnis gründet.
Hamburger Abendblatt, 08.12.2016
Luthers Melodieweisen verbinden diese Sätze ... mit dem Heute, denn sie haben sich ... im weihnachtlichen Liedgut gehalten. Diese CD weist auf ... sehr ansprechende Weise darauf hin.
Concerto. Das Magazin für Alte Musik, November/Dezember 2016
Ikkje berre programmeringa, men òg framføringa er framifrå. Særleg tiltalande er viola-da-gamba-spelet til [...] Eckert og den overtonerike, varme tenoren til [...] Kobow.
Nicht nur das Programm, sondern auch die Aufführung ist vorzüglich. Insbesondere ansprechend sind das Viola-da-Gamba-Spiel von [...] Eckert und der obertonreiche, warme Tenor von [...] Kobow.
