An die Sterne (Carus Classics)
„Das Orpheus Vokalensemble unter der Leitung von Gary Graden gestaltet jedes Stück mit angemessener Aufmerksamkeit. Intelligent phrasiert, transparent im Klangbild und dynamisch höchst abwechslungsreich, gelingt es den Sängerinnen und Sängern, die subtile Schönheit schumannscher Chormusik dem Hörer überzeugend zu vermitteln.“
Robert Schumann Correspondenz Nr.30

Composer
Robert Schumann
| 1810-1856Robert Schumann ist noch immer vor allem als Klavier- und Liedkomponist bzw. als Symphoniker präsent. In seinen späteren Schaffensjahren sah er hingegen in der Komposition von Chormusik einen wichtigen Schwerpunkt seiner Arbeit. Hier gilt es auch heute noch einen weitgehend unbekannten Schumann zu entdecken, dessen Chormusik Volkstümlichkeit und künstlerischen Anspruch zugleich meisterhaft verbindet. Carus bietet Schumanns sämtliche Werke für gemischten Chor und für Frauenchor a cappella und mit Klavier. Sie zeigen seine Experimentierfreude, seine Sensibilität in der Auswahl sowie musikalischen Umsetzung der Texte, nicht zuletzt aber sein eigenständiger Chorstil, der besonders auf raffinierte Details in der Gestaltung des Satzes setzt.

Ensemble
Orpheus Vokalensemble
The Orpheus Vokalensemble was founded in 2005 as the professional chamber choir of the Landesmusikakademie Baden-Württemberg. This is an international ensemble which places the highest vocal demands on its members. Internationally recognized choral conductors are engaged for each assignment, and they exercise lasting influence on the artistic quality of the ensemble. Its model is the legendary Orpheus Chamber Orchestra (New York), whose name it shares. Its artistic aims, in the preparation and performance of works, are to bring the fundamentals of chamber music – personal commitment and mutual respect – to bear on the work of a vocal ensemble. Its members have the right to participate in the choice of repertoire, soloists, conductors and concert programs. Several composers have already written works for the Orpheus Vokalensemble, including Bo Hansson, Knut Nystedt, Gregor Hübner and Jürgen Essl. In 2006 the ensemble was invited to the International Lake Constance Festival. Other invitations to important festivals have followed. Personal details
