Was ist der Mensch
from: Fünf Sprüche und Psalmen für mehrstimmigen Chor op. 34 op. 34,5
The renowned conductor Frieder Bernius regards the motets of Hans Fährmann (1860–1940) as an “indispensable and extremely welcome addition to the late Romantic repertoire”. Fährmann was born in Saxony. Although his choral works are generally little known nowadays, during his lifetime he was considered the “Richard Strauss of the organ”. With their challenging harmonies which stretch tonality to its extremes, they represent an exciting addition to the chamber choir repertoire. And not least, their sonorous expressivity is thanks to their chromatic richness.
Frieder Bernius has recorded the Motets opp. 34, 45, and 65 for the first time on CD with the SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart (Carus 83.499).
