Choir
Kammerchor Stuttgart
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

Conductor
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.

Ludger Rémy
The harpsichordist/pianist and conductor Ludger Rémy († June 2017) felt an obligation to meet the challenge set by the theorist Mattheson to combine theory and practice. He studied school music and harpsichord in Freiburg, followed by private studies with Kenneth Gilbert in Paris. In 1998 he was appointed to a professorship for early music in Dresden. 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
[...] Ein zauberhaftes Album.
Morgenpost am Sonntag, 4.7.2010
[...] Was selten genug geschieht, wenn wir eine CD einlegen, hier ist es unvermeidlich: Wir fangen unwillkürlich an mitzusummen, mitzusingen. [...]
- St. Galler Tagblatt, 17.01.2010 -[...] Viel Getragenes erklingt, auch Leises. Feine, ruhige Musik als Kontrast zum Getöse und zur Hektik unserer Tage. [...]
Johannes Adam
Badische Zeitung, 19. 04. 2010
[...] Auf „Wiegenlieder Vol. 2“ (Carus) sind jetzt unter anderem die Sopranistin Juliane Banse, der Bariton Christian Gerhaber und der Countertenor Andreas Scholl zu hören. Mit Klassikern wie „Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf“, aber auch Melodien, die man nur selten hört – alle komplett mit Text und allen Strophen im liebevoll gestalteten Booklet. Das macht dieses Werk so zauberhaft und zum wahrscheinlich schönsten vorstellbaren Geschenk für Kinder in allen Lebensphasen. [...]

[...] Ein bemerkenswertes Projekt mit optionalem Wiegenlieder-Buch und Klavierband zum Selberspielen und -Singen.
