Composer
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
| 1839-1901During the second half of the 19th century Rheinberger, who was born in 1839 in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), was a major figure of European stature. In demand as a teacher of composition and esteemed as a composer, this professor at the Munich Conservatoire and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister made his mark on a whole generation of musicians. The fact that many of his compositions were no longer performed after his death in 1901, despite their high musical qualities, was largely a result of external circumstances. The change of aesthetic orientation which began about the turn of the century led to a radical move away from the conservative-classical ideals to which Rheinberger – like Brahms – had felt himself committed. It was also a fact that Rheinberger never publicized his own works vigorously. The Josef-Rheinberger-Archiv and Carus published a complete edition of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger for the first time. The edition, concluded in 2009, has contributed significantly to the fact that the music of this composition teacher and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister from Munich can once again be heard around the world today.

Reviews
[...] Die Interpretation der Werke auf der Aufnahme von 2009 kann der weiteren Verbreitung des Schaffens von Rheinberger nur entgegenkommen - nicht zuletzt durch die herausragenden Qualitäten der Begleiter Götz Payer (Klavier) und Kay Johannsen (Orgel).
(Birger Petersen, Forum Kirchenmusik, November/Dezember 2011)
[...] this CD will come as a breath of fresh air. [...It] takes you on a journey through Rheinberger’s sacred vocal music career. One comes out of the experience enriched and moved. This is also due to the gracious and ideal performances of the three vocalists whose tone quality, although mature and full, is always literally perfectly in tune but also in accord with the style of the music. In addition the use of piano and/or organ is apt and the accompaniments are sensitive and beautifully balanced. [...]
(Gary Higginson, MusicWeb International, January 2011)
[...] Lydia Teuscher, Christine Müller und Annette Markert kommen dankenswerter Weise ganz ohne Vibrato und romantisches Pathos aus. Ihr Gesang ist schlicht, anmutig, geprägt durch klare Linien. Er schöpft aus einer inneren Kraft, die das Gesungene sehr glaubwürdig vermittelt.
Man darf sich mit Fug und Recht schon auf die nächste Rheinberger-CD aus dem Hause Carus freuen.
(pizzicato, 09/2010)
[...] Die Solistinnen Lydia Teuscher (Sopran), Christine Müller (Mezzosopran) und Annette Marken (Alt) interpretieren hier die Stücke mit religiöser Inbrunst und romantischer Empfindung. Josef Gabriel Rheinbergers Vokalwerke sind eine echte Entdeckung!
(Mannheimer Morgen, 14.10.2010)
