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 CD includes an extensive booklet with colour illustrations and song texts with English translations.

  • Christoph Mett illustrierte einige vielbeachtete Buchprojekte für Kinder und Erwachsene. Neben der Auszeichnung der Stiftung Buchkunst für „Die schönsten deutschen Bücher 2006“ wurde er für den Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2008 nominiert. Personal details
  • The Kammerchor Stuttgart is regarded as one of the best ensembles of its kind. Over its fifty-year existence, Frieder Bernius has developed the choir into an exceptional ensemble acclaimed by audiences and press alike. This has led to invitations for the choir to perform at all the important European festivals. In Germany the chamber choir performs at festivals and in concert halls in repertoire ranging from the 17th to the 21st century. Frieder Bernius and his ensemble have received numerous accolades for their contribution to new music. The Kammerchor Stuttgart has made over 80 CDs and LPs, numerous of which have been awarded international recording prizes (including the Edison award, Diapason d’or, Gramophone Choice, Classical Internet Award, International Classical Music Award, and German Record Critics’ Award prizes). The International Federation for Choral Music has invited the ensemble to sing at the 1st, 4th and 10th World Symposia on Choral Music in Vienna, Sydney and Seoul. Regular tours of North America and Asia since 1988 and a South America tour reflect the Kammerchor Stuttgart’s international reputation. Since 1984 the top ensemble has also been invited to Israel biennially. Personal details
  • Homogenität, Präzision, Leichtigkeit und Witz – das sind die Markenzeichen von Calmus, heutzutage eine der erfolgreichsten Vokalgruppen Deutschlands. Das Ensemble besitzt eine Klangkultur, wie sie nur von wenigen erreicht wird. Die breite Palette an Klangfarben, die Musizierfreude, die die Musiker auf der Bühne vermitteln, aber auch ihre abwechslungs- und einfallsreichen Programme werden von der Presse immer wieder hervorgehoben. Die fünf Leipziger haben eine ganze Reihe internationaler Preise und Wettbewerbe gewonnen, u.a. den ECHO Klassik und den Supersonic Award, und der Radius ihrer Aktivitäten wird ständig größer und führt sie durch ganz Europa sowie Nord- und Südamerika. 2010 gab das Quintett sein Debüt in der New Yorker Carnegie Hall.

    Unermüdlich sind die Musiker bestrebt, neues Repertoire zu entdecken. Geprägt von der vielhundertjährigen Tradition großer deutscher Knabenchöre sind sie natürlich in der Vokalmusik der Renaissance, des Barock und der Romantik zu Hause. Musik unserer Zeit ist ihnen aber ebenfalls ein echtes Anliegen. In allen Sparten gibt es immer wieder interessante Partnerschaften mit Kollegen wie der Lautten Compagney Berlin, dem Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, der Hamburger Ratsmusik oder der Bigband des Hessischen Rundfunks. Da diese im Bereich der zeitgenössischen Musik häufig völlig neues Repertoire bedeuten, hat Calmus über die Jahre zahlreiche Kompositionsaufträge u. a. an Bernd Franke, Steffen Schleiermacher, Wolfram Buchenberg, Mathew Rosenblum, Bill Dobbins, Michael Denhoff und Harald Banter vergeben und Uraufführungen gesungen. Dass sie gerne Pop, Folk und Jazz sowie Chansons und Evergreens der zwanziger Jahre singen, das versteht sich von selbst!

    Ein Teil ihrer Zeit ist der Nachwuchsförderung gewidmet, denn Unterricht und Workshops gehören zu ihrem Alltag, zu Hause in Leipzig und unterwegs. Kein Wunder, dass Calmus mit der einzigartigen Besetzung aus Sopranistin, Countertenor, Tenor, Bariton und Bass überall auf der Welt immer mehr Fans hat. Personal details
  • Frieder 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.

His particular objective with this ensemble has been to make renewed performances of outstanding compositions from the recent past, including, for example, works by Luigi Nono, György Kurtág, Wolfgang Rihm or Heinz Holliger. Marcus Creed is regularly invited to international festivals for both early music and new music and he regularly collaborates with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, the Freiburger Barockorchester and Concerto Köln.

Around 70 CD productions – several have been awarded prestigious prizes – both as instrumentalist and conductor, as well as numerous concerts at home and abroad (at festivals incl. Utrecht, Brügge, Paris, Saintes, Bachfest Leipzig, Händel­festspiele Göttingen, Musikfestspiele Dres­den) made him one of the leading musicians active in the rediscovery and revival of early German music.

Reviews

Volkslieder, or folksongs, from Germany, is not just a commendable charity initiative; it is also a rather interesting, unusual concept, combining an appealing, attractive and colourful book with some excellent singing and musical skill. [...] There is much to enjoy. The melodies are charming. There are songs from the greats, like Brahms, Schubert, Mendelssohn or Mozart, and the musicians and singers are all outstanding. Then, there is the CD booklet, which is a treat in itself, with Mett’s beautiful illustrations, alongside interesting, informative notes, artists’ biographies and all the texts to the recorded songs. The result of all these collaborations is a work of pure beauty and joy. [...]
(Margarida Mota-Bull, musicweb-international, June 2011)

[...] Man hört den Aufnahmen die Freude am Musizieren und am guten Zweck an; da klingt kaum eine Silbe gekünstelt.
[...] Das Volksliederprojekt [...] will niemanden von oben herab zum Singen drängen, sondern nur dazu ermuntern. Das ist seine Stärke. Gerade, weil auf der CD auch Kinder selbst Musik machen, ist ihre Botschaft: Mach mit, jeder kann singen! [...]
(Fono Forum, 11/10)

[...] eine abwechslungsreiche, hörenswerte Sammlung [...]
(Neue Musikzeitung, Ausgabe 12/10-01/11)

[...] Die sehr gut und vielseitig ausgewählten Interpreten prägen diese CD ebenso wie das Repertoire, sie entdecken hinter vermeintlich Bekanntem das Einzigartige und Besondere. Für alle, die sich weiter mit dem Sujet beschäftigen möchten, gibt es zu allen Künstlern Informationen, denn auch das Booklet zur CD trägt die sorgfältige und liebevolle Handschrift der Macher dieser Aktion.
(SPIEGEL online, 22.09.2010)

[...] Ausdrucksstark und doch innig, sehr persönlich, aber nicht aufdringlich populär singen die Interpreten die bekannten und weniger bekannten, die kunstvollen und die einfachen Lieder. Allein schon die CD ist ein Klanggenuss. [...]
(Südwestpresse online, 15.09.2010)

[...] die nötige Gewissenhaftigkeit im Umgang mit Volksliedern [...] kann dem aktuellen Volksliederprojekt [...] absolut zugeschrieben werden. [...]
(Neue Chorzeit, Oktober 2010)
