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
[...] Georg Grüns hervorragender Kammerchor Saarbrücken bietet eine sehr gelungene Einspielung. Mit seiner feinen Singkultur bringt der Chor die Musik des 1901 verstorbenen Wahl-Münchners zum Blühen. [...]
(Johannes Adam, Badische Zeitung, 08.03.2011)
[...] Der Kammerchor Saarbrücken kostet die Klangschönheit der Stücke mit anrührender Wirkung aus. Rhythmische Präzision, deutliche Artikulation und eine fein abgestufte Dynamik machen das kunstvolle Gewebe von Rheinbergers Stücken hörbar. Eine rundum gelungene Aufnahme mit lohnenswerten Neuentdeckungen!
(Hilde Daniel, Neue Chorzeit, November 2010)
[...] Die Interpretation der eingespielten Werke lässt kaum Wünsche offen. Bei den bis zu sechsstimmigen Motetten überzeugt der Chor in allen Registern durch eine sehr gute Intonation und einer zu jeder Zeit gegebenen, vorbildlichen Textverständlichkeit. [...]
(Peter Büssers, klassik.com, 26.07.2010)
[...] Recorded at two locations the Carus engineers are to be praised for providing a clear and well balanced sound quality. The Mass in A has the benefit of being recorded in a resonant ecclesiastical setting with the organ sounding just superb. In the remaining scores the firmer acoustic of the Großer Sendesaal, Saarbrücken provides an impressive balance. The booklet contains an informative essay. It is good to see that full texts are provided with English translations. [...]
