In 1837 Robert Schumann judged Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 Wie der Hirsch schreit (Like as the hart) as the “highest standard which has been achieved amongst recent church music”. This work is truly a favorite of many choirs, however, the final chorus contains a few tricky problem passages: in particular, the wonderful quintet requires perfect intonation from the four male voices to provide a secure basis over which the bell-like clarity of the solo soprano floats ...

Thomas Schmidt-Beste
Traduction (abrégé) : Jean Paul MénièreLa musique spirituelle pour chœurs occupe une place importante dans la production de Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847). Le catalogue de ses œuvres ne compte pas moins de 67 compositions, publiées ou non, qui vont de très simples et brèves pièces pour chœurs jusqu’aux deux oratorios monumenteaux Paulus et Elias. Il est facile de comprendre cet aspect de la production du compositeur lorsqu’on jette un bref regard sur sa biographie : Après l’abandon de la religion juive et la conversion de la famille Mendelssohn au christianisme en 1816 (d’abord les enfants, les parents en suivent 1822) le compositeur grandit dans le milieu culturel et musical de Berlin, fortement imprégné par le protestantisme. Son professeur, Carl Friedrich Zelter, jouait, en outre, en tant que directeur de la Singakademie, Berlin, à laquelle appartint également le jeune

Thomas Schmidt-Beste
Translation (abridged): John CoombsSacred choral music occupies an important place among the works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847); the catalogue of his sacred compositions includes no fewer than 67 published and unpublished works, ranging from brief and straightforward choruses to the two monumental oratorios St. Paul and Elijah. A glance at the biography of the composer makes this understandable: following conversion to Christianity of the originally Jewish Mendelssohn family (the children were converted in 1816 and the parents in 1822) the composer grew up in the Protestant-influenced musical culture of Berlin. His teacher Carl Friedrich Zelter, as director of the Berlin Singakademie (to which the young Mendelssohn belonged), was one of the leading figures in the movement of that period whose aim was to breathe new life into the “classical” art of the old

Im Schaffen Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys (1809–1847) nimmt die geistliche Chormusik einen großen Stellenwert ein – das Werkverzeichnis führt nicht weniger als 67 veröffentlichte und unveröffentlichte Werke auf, die von kurzen, ganz einfachen Chorsätzen bis zu den beiden monumentalen Oratorien Paulus und Elias reichen. Ein Blick auf die Biographie des Komponisten macht dies verständlich: Nach dem Übertritt der ursprünglich jüdischen Familie Mendelssohn zum Christentum – im Jahr 1816 erst der Kinder und 1822 dann der Eltern – wuchs der Komponist in der protestantisch geprägten Musikkultur Berlins auf; sein Lehrer Carl Friedrich Zelter war zudem als Leiter der Berliner Singakademie (deren Mitglied auch der junge Mendelssohn war) eine der treibenden Kräfte im Bestreben, die „klassische“ Kunst der alten Meister der Kirchenmusik in der Praxis zu neuem Leben zu erwecken. An erster Stelle standen hier die Werke

Choir
Kammerchor Stuttgart
The Kammerchor Stuttgart is regarded as one of the best ensembles of its kind. Over its fifty-year existence, Frieder Bernius has developed the choir into an exceptional ensemble acclaimed by audiences and press alike. This has led to invitations for the choir to perform at all the important European festivals. In Germany the chamber choir performs at festivals and in concert halls in repertoire ranging from the 17th to the 21st century. Frieder Bernius and his ensemble have received numerous accolades for their contribution to new music. The Kammerchor Stuttgart has made over 80 CDs and LPs, numerous of which have been awarded international recording prizes (including the Edison award, Diapason d’or, Gramophone Choice, Classical Internet Award, International Classical Music Award, and German Record Critics’ Award prizes). The International Federation for Choral Music has invited the ensemble to sing at the 1st, 4th and 10th World Symposia on Choral Music in Vienna, Sydney and Seoul. Regular tours of North America and Asia since 1988 and a South America tour reflect the Kammerchor Stuttgart’s international reputation. Since 1984 the top ensemble has also been invited to Israel biennially. Personal details

Conductor
Frieder Bernius
| 1947Frieder Bernius’s work has earned great worldwide recognition. He is in demand internationally as a conductor and as a teacher. His principal artistic collaborators are the ensembles he founded himself, the Kammerchor Stuttgart, the Barockorchester Stuttgart, the Hofkapelle Stuttgart and the Klassische Philharmonie Stuttgart. As a guest conductor, he has collaborated repeatedly with, for example, the SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester and the Streicherakademie Bozen. Great stylistic versatility is Frieder Bernius’s hallmark. Whether he conducts vocal works by Monteverdi, Bach, Händel, Mozart, Beethoven, Fauré and Ligeti, stage music by Mendelssohn or symphonies by Haydn, Burgmüller and Schubert, his work always aims for a sound that is at once unmistakably personal and at the same time oriented towards the original period sound ideal. He devotes himself equally to the rediscovery of 18th century operas and to first performances of contemporary compositions. He is particularly interested in the musical history of southwestern Germany. Carus-Verlag has awarded Frieder Bernius a Golden CD for his complete recording of the sacred music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The award was presented to him during the German Choir Festival in Stuttgart 2016. The sale of over 250,000 recordings, which has been acclaimed with a number of awards, has made a not insignificant contribution to what today is the obvious presence of Mendelssohn's complete œuvre in the concert repertoire.
