In 2008 the concert and opera singer Cornelius Hauptmann initiated the charitable "The Lieder project" to further singing with children. The following year the "Wiegenlieder" (lullaby) collection was published. Once again, more than 50 singers have voluntarily, without remuneration, given their voices to sing the most beautiful German folk songs. This project will be continued with two further collections of children’s songs and songs for Christmas. The present collection of the most beautiful German folk songs is sung by leading concert and opera singers, choirs and children. The CDs each include an extensive booklet with colour illustrations and song texts with English translations. In January 2011 the benefit project "Lieder-Projekt" was awarded with the website www.liederprojekt.org  als „Ausgewählter Ort 2011“ [selected spot] in the challenge „365 Orte im Land der Ideen“ from the German government.

  • DRESDNER KAMMERCHOR Radiant, transparent, homogeneous and flexible: the Dresdner Kammerchor is internationally esteemed for its unique culture of sonority. Its artistic director Hans-Christoph Rademann has shaped this distinctive sound since the choir was founded in 1985, leading it to worldwide renown. The choir’s diverse repertoire has its foundation in Baroque music, with a special focus on Saxon court music. As a cultural ambassador for Dresden and Saxony, the choir keeps the musical heritage of its homeland alive and makes it known to an international audience. A prominent example of this is the world’s first complete Heinrich Schütz recording, which was concluded in 2019, published by Carus-Verlag, and has won several awards: among others, the St. John Passion was awarded the Annual Prize of the German Record Critics in 2016, and the last installment of the edition containing “Psalms and Peace Music” was honored with the Opus Klassik 2020. The choir has also rediscovered, performed anew and recorded on CD numerous works by other Central German masters such as Johann Adolf Hasse, Johann David Heinichen and Jan Dismas Zelenka in collaboration with the Dresden Baroque Orchestra and other musical partners. In addition to symphonic choral works from the Classical and Romantic periods, a further repertoire focus is on challenging a cappella works of the 19th and 20th centuries. This includes music by Johannes Brahms, Max Reger, Olivier Messiaen, Francis Poulenc, Arnold Schoenberg and Herman Berlinski. For years, the Dresdner Kammerchor has been intensively dedicated to modern and contemporary music, with world premieres, first performances and its own commissioned works. This commitment is deepened further by diverse music education and youth projects. In 2009, Hans-Christoph Rademann and the Dresdner Kammerchor initiated the Dresden Choral Workshop for New Music, which took place for the 4th time in 2018. For its services to contemporary choral music, the choir was awarded a Sponsorship Prize by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. The Dresdner Kammerchor gives guest performances in centers of music and at festivals throughout Europe. Tours have taken the singers to Israel, India, Taiwan, China, Mexico, South America, South Africa and the USA. Musical partners to date have included René Jacobs, Sir Roger Norrington, Ádám Fischer, Václav Luks, Stefan Parkman, Trevor Pinnock, Christoph Prégardien, Jos van Immerseel, Herbert Blomstedt, Omer Meir Wellber, Christian Thielemann, Riccardo Chailly and Reinhard Goebel, as well as the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Anima Eterna Brugge, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. The choir regularly collaborates with the Wroc"naw Baroque Orchestra. By means of a cooperation with the Dresden University of Music, the Dresdner Kammerchor keeps the connection to its roots alive.

  • Alongside its dedication to a core repertoire of composers such as Monteverdi, Schütz, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Schumann, and Brahms, the Vocalensemble Rastatt & Les Favorites frequently explore new terrain with premiere performances. On the heels of its successes in national and international choir competitions, the ensemble has taken part in numerous internationally acclaimed CD recordings as well as radio, and television productions for SWR, Radio France, Deutschlandradio Kultur, and Deutschlandfunk. The Vocalensemble Rastatt & Les Favorites have performed in the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, the Musikfest Bremen, the Kölner Philharmonie, the SWR RheinVokal Festival, the Europäisches Musikfest Stuttgart, the Schwetzinger Festspiele, the Deutschlandradio Kultur Wartburgkonzerte, the Internationale Musiktage im Dom zu Speyer, the Philharmonie in Mulhouse, and the Centre de Musique “Les Dominicains” in Guebwiller, France, among other venues. The flexible choir does not shy away from excursions into the world of opera, having performed Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Bellini’s Norma with Edita Gruberova, and Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte with Rolando Villazón. Together with Klaus Maria Brandauer and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the choir also performed Mendelssohn’s Sommernachtstraum at the Musikfest Bremen. The ensemble is sponsored by the German state of Baden-Württemberg in co-operation with its “Kunst 2020” program, as well as by its home city of Rastatt. Personal details
  • Der Kinderchor der Staatsoper Stuttgart ist ein Ensemble aus musikalisch begabten Kindern, die in wöchentlichen Proben stimmlich und darstellerisch auf ihre Aufgaben auf der großen Bühne der Staatsoper vorbereitet werden. In vielen Opern spielt der Kinderchor eine wichtige Rolle, daher ist das Repertoire des Ensembles breit gefächert. Es reicht von Bizets Carmen und Puccinis La Bohème über Hänsel und Gretel, den Rosenkavalier und Boris Godunov bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Musiktheaterproduktionen wie zuletzt der Uraufführung der Zeitoper U-Musik.Bunker von Fredrik Zeller. In einer Reihe von Opernwerken werden Kinderstimmen auch solistisch eingesetzt, wie beispielsweise in der Partie des Hirten in Tosca, der Brautjungfern im Freischütz oder der drei Knaben in der Zauberflöte. Neben seiner Tätigkeit auf der großen Bühne realisiert der Kinderchor auch eigene Konzerte und Opernproduktionen. Mit großem Erfolg brachte er beim Kinder- und Jugendmusikfestival 2006 in Stuttgart Hans Krasas Oper Brundibar auf die Bühne. Mit den Rundfunkchören des SWR und des NDR sowie dem SWR Sinfonieorchester wirkte der Chor im April 2007 bei der deutschen Erstaufführung von Brett Deans Vexations and Devotions mit. Im gleichen Jahr konnte unter der Leitung von Johannes Knecht Josef Rheinbergers Singspiel Das Zauberwort für das Label Carus auf CD eingespielt werden. Im Herbst 2008 hat dann Rheinbergers Singspiel Der arme Heinrich im Kammertheater der Staatsoper Stuttgart Premiere. Alle Partien werden von Mitgliedern des Kinderchors gespielt und gesungen.

  • The German vocal ensemble “The Singphoniker” was founded three decades ago by six students at the Music Conservatory in Munich. This was at a time when, after years of oblivion – thanks to Eberhard Fechner’s documentary film – the Comedian Harmonists were rediscovered and reassessed, with their fantastic ensemble singing and inimitable arrangements. At the same time, the English group the King´s Singers began to attract a wide public in Germany with their mixed programs ranging from madrigals through contemporary music to close harmony. Right from the beginning The Singphoniker were aware that simply imitating other groups would not bring pleasure or success in the long term. Rather, the question was: is there a German tradition of vocal chamber music for male voices – apart from the narrow German patriotism then commonly found in amateur male voice choirs – which should be fostered and continued, and which is worth incorporating within the overall music of our time? Yes, indeed! The archives are full of such hidden treasures. With curiosity and in the spirit of discovery, we set off on a fascinating journey which has led to many surprises even among experts. Works such as Schubert’s part songs, for example, have formed the center of a German Romantic tradition for the Singphoniker. It is astonishing what we have discovered in terms of wonderful compositions – from Lasso to Orff (both with long associations to the Singphonic home of Munich) and from Grieg to Villa Lobos, et al. Finding their way between the riches of earlier German repertoire, the current international vocal ensemble scene, the revived and rediscovered German tradition and exciting contemporary music, the Singphoniker have developed a wideranging repertoire and an unmistakable profile among the few ensembles of vocal soloists on the international scene. The inclusion of the piano for all musical styles and periods provides an added ingredient in the group’s artistic profile and distinctiveness. Numerous prizes and awards and fruitful partnerships with many distinguished artists – including Gert Westphal, Ute Lemper and Angelika Kirchschlager – reflect their good reputation. Similarly, they work regularly with international orchestras (most recently the Gulbenkian Orchestra Lisbon, NDR Radiophilharmonie, Orquesta Nacional de España) and conductors (including Sir Lawrence Foster, Paul Daniel, Ulf Schirmer, and Howard Griffiths). A whole range of renowned contemporary composers have made exciting contributions to the ensemble’s repertoire. The members of the current group maintain this tradition with continued enthusiasm, and they are finding great pleasure in discovering new repertoire. The Singphonikers’ ensemble sound – and they have consistently rejected all technical means of enhancing this – is considered warmly sonorous, from finely balanced to cohesively powerful in equal measure, reflecting all the facets of a purely male-voice scoring from the deepest darkness to the brightest light.

[...] delightful little songs and singing.
(John T. Hughes, International Record Review, Juli/August 2011)

"Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisen” – dem schenkt er bestimmt diese CD. Denn ob man’s glaubt oder nicht, ist das deutsche Volkslied wieder en vogue. Der Stuttgarter Carus Verlag ließ [...] abermals Stars der klassischen Muse antreten, um altbewährtem Liedgut zu huldigen. Jonas Kaufmann, Juliane Banse und Stephan Genz, die Singphoniker, Singer Pur und der Kinderchor der Stuttgarter Staatsoper geben sich dazu, nebst vielen anderen, ein betörendes Stelldichein. [...]
(Thüringische Landeszeitung, 2. April 2011)

[...] Wenn sich Liedermacher Hannes Wader mit „Dat du min Leevste büst“ im niederdeutschen Platt artikuliert und Kollege Konstantin Wecker mit „Weil du mei Liabste bist“ die bajuwarische Version im Duett zuliefert: Dieses Schmankerl berührt. Diverse Exempel werden rein instrumental geboten, so „Im Märzen der Bauer“ mit Saxofon und Klavier. Wunderschöne Sätze sind dabei, etwa „Ich ging durch einen grasgrünen Wald“ in der Chorfassung Max Regers. Zum Zuge kommen auch Friedrich Silcher und Arrangements aus unserer Zeit. [...]
(Johannes Adam, Badische Zeitung, 5. März 2011)

[...] Diese CD ist eine Reise durch die Klang-Landschaft des Volkslieds. Ein Hör-Vergnügen.
