Christus factus est (Carus Classics)
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger’s well-loved and often performed masses Missa St. Crucis op. 151 and the Missa in A op. 126 for women’s choir, in addition to other works, have been recorded on this CD. Once again, the Vocalensemble Rastatt conducted by Holger Speck, with its highly refined sound, technical brilliance and lively musicality, delivers a convincing performance on this CD.
“… it’s hard to imagine a finer advocate for Rheinberger’s work, nor is it possible to
offer anything but praise …” Classics Today 4/2000

Translation: Earl RosenbaumWhen Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Professor of composition at the Royal School of Music in Munich, was appointed Court Conductor for church music by the Bavarian King Ludwig II he took on one of the central positions, most rich in tradition in Catholic church music – it was once held by Orlando di Lasso. Rheinberger was responsible for directing church music at the All Saints Church in Munich on Sundays and feast days, from December through May. This meant that on normal Sundays a mass and two motets (for the Graduale and the Offertorium) were performed. For these performances he had a mixed choir of about 40 well-trained singers at his disposal. Rheinberger took great pleasure in his new duties. According to his wife Fanny, more than once he told her “he would not yearn for any other position in his lifetime.” He personally copied out numerous autographs from the 16th–18th centuries in order to expand the repertoire of the Court Choir and he dedicated himself with new enthusiasm to the composition of church music.
Since the days of his childhood Rheinberger regarded sacred music as his special love. His musical career began at the age of

Als Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Professor für Komposition an der Königlichen Musikschule in München, 1877 vom bayerischen König Ludwig II. zum Hofkapellmeister für Kirchenmusik ernannt wurde, übernahm er eines der zentralen und traditionsreichsten Ämter innerhalb der katholischen Kirchenmusik im Deutschen Reich – ein Amt, das einst ein Orlando di Lasso innegehabt hatte. Rheinberger oblag die Leitung der Kirchenmusik an der Allerheiligen-Hofkapelle in München an allen Sonn- und Festtagen von Dezember bis Mai. Dies bedeutete an gewöhnlichen Sonntagen die Aufführung einer Messe und zweier Motetten (zum Graduale und Offertorium) mit einem Chor von rund 40 gut ausgebildeten Sängerinnen und Sängern. Rheinberger fand an seinen neuen Aufgaben großen Gefallen; seiner Frau Fanny zufolge sagte er mehr als einmal, „er würde sich in seinem Leben nach keiner anderen Stelle sehnen.“ Eigenhändig schrieb er zahlreiche Musikhandschriften des 16. bis 18. Jahrhunderts ab, um das Repertoire der Hofkapelle zu erweitern, und widmete sich selbst mit neuer Begeisterung der Komposition von Kirchenmusik.

Composer
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
| 1839-1901During the second half of the 19th century Rheinberger, who was born in 1839 in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), was a major figure of European stature. In demand as a teacher of composition and esteemed as a composer, this professor at the Munich Conservatoire and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister made his mark on a whole generation of musicians. The fact that many of his compositions were no longer performed after his death in 1901, despite their high musical qualities, was largely a result of external circumstances. The change of aesthetic orientation which began about the turn of the century led to a radical move away from the conservative-classical ideals to which Rheinberger – like Brahms – had felt himself committed. It was also a fact that Rheinberger never publicized his own works vigorously. The Josef-Rheinberger-Archiv and Carus published a complete edition of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger for the first time. The edition, concluded in 2009, has contributed significantly to the fact that the music of this composition teacher and Bavarian Court Kapellmeister from Munich can once again be heard around the world today.

Choir
Vocalensemble Rastatt
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

Conductor
Holger Speck
Holger Speck enjoys an international reputation as a charismatic conductor who succeeds both in realizing stylistic characteristics in an innovative manner and in conveying emotional content. Fanfare magazine from the USA attests to his “undeniable authority.” With his distinctive sense of sound and compelling, lively and authentic interpretations, he shapes the image of his own ensembles as well as the choirs and orchestras with which he works as a guest conductor. The president of the German Bundestag Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble engaged him and his Vocalensemble Rastatt for a concert during the G20 summit. Speck established the Grammy-nominated Vocalensemble Rastatt and the Baroque orchestra Les Favorites internationally with exciting concert programs and outstanding CD recordings on the Carus label containing music by Buxtehude, Telemann, Handel and Brahms, among others. For Deutsche Grammophon productions, he was responsible for the choral sections of the Mozart operas “Die Entführung aus dem Serail,” “Le nozze di Figaro,” “Così fan tutte,” and “Don Giovanni.” Holger Speck teaches at the University of Music in Karlsruhe; in addition to being the artistic director of Vocalensemble Rastatt & Les Favorites, he works as a guest conductor with the NDR Vokalensemble, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, and the choir and orchestra of the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra in Ljubljana, among others. The ballet director John Neumeier engaged Speck to conduct his last major creation “Dona nobis pacem” with Bach’s Mass in B minor at the Hamburg State Opera and the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden. .
