La première des deux mises en musique de messe de Beethoven est extrêmement moderne et visionnaire par son langage musical subjectif. Avec ces changements dramatiques entre passages vocaux et instrumentaux et les grands contrastes de tension et d'expression, la messe exige en permanence une concentration et une justesse extrêmes de la part des choristes.
Il suffit de s'exercer. Partout. A tout moment.

Compositeur
Ludwig van Beethoven
| 1770-1827Ludwig van Beethoven est assurément un des compositeurs les plus influents dans l’histoire de la musique. Son œuvre constitue le sommet de nombreux genres du classicisme viennois, surtout instrumentaux, et servira de fondement pour les prochaines décennies. Mais les pièces vocales de Beethoven établissent aussi de nouveaux critères. La tardive Missa Solemnis fait partie des œuvres chorales les plus impressionnantes de son époque; mais sa Messe in C exploite déjà de nouvelles dimensions expressives du texte liturgique, qui ont servi de référence pour l’évolution ultérieure de la composition des messes. Et avec le chœur final de la Symphonie n° 9, la mise en musique de l’Ode à la Joie de Schiller, Beethoven a écrit l’une des pièces vocales les plus jouées et les plus célèbres dans le monde entier, et s’est ainsi érigé à soi-même un monument musical intemporel.

Chef d'orchestre
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.
