Cherubini’s Requiem was composed for the church memorial ceremony on the anniversary of the death of Louis XVI. The work contains some special features which traditionalist clerics of the time objected to, such as the scoring for mixed chorus and the graphic depiction of the Last Judgement in the music. There are no soloists, so the choir alone has to master all the demanding passages.

Texte du livret du CD Carus 83.227
Wolfgang Hochstein
Traduction (abrégée) : Sylvie CoquillatCherubini compose le Requiem en ut mineur en 1816 à Paris. En très peu de temps, l’œuvre atteint une très grande notoriété ; des musiciens comme Beethoven, pour les funérailles duquel il fut joué, Schumann et Brahms le tenaient en très haute estime.
Le Requiem en ut mineur fut écrit à l’occasion des funérailles solennelles de Louis XVI, qui avait été guillotiné en 1793, victime de la Révolution française. Une messe où fut donnée pour la première fois la composition de Cherubini eut lieu en sa mémoire le 21 janvier 1817 à l’église de Saint-Denis. La distribution est pour chœur mixte et grand orchestre, mais renonce cependant aux voix solistes et préfère à des effets virtuoses concertants une intériorité suivant le texte de très près. Dans une totale concentration sur l’essentiel, toute extériorité est évitée, cette constatation incluant aussi l’effrayant coup de tamtam au début de

Text from the CD Carus 83.227
Wolfgang Hochstein
Translation (abridged) : Elizabeth RobinsonCherubini’s Requiem in C minor was composed in 1816 in Paris. Within a short period of time the work became very well known; musicians such as Beethoven, at whose funeral it was performed, Schumann, and Brahms held it in extremely high regard.
The occasion for the composition of the Requiem in C minor was the religious funeral ceremony for Louis XVI, who had been executed in 1793 as a victim of the French Revolution. A memorial service took place on 21 January 1817 in the church of St. Denis, at which Cherubini’s composition was performed for the first time. The work is scored for mixed choir and large orchestra, without solo parts, and instead of virtuoso-concertante effects, an inwardness, with a strong characterization of the text, prevails. By fully concentrating on the essential, purely formal gestures are avoided, though this also includes the startling

Booklet-Text der CD Carus 83.227
Wolfgang Hochstein
Cherubinis Requiem in c-Moll entstand 1816 in Paris. Binnen kurzer Zeit erlangte das Werk einen hohen Bekanntheitsgrad; Musiker wie Beethoven, zu dessen Totenfeier es erklang, Schumann und Brahms haben es ganz außerordentlich geschätzt.
Anlass für die Entstehung des Requiems in c-Moll war die kirchliche Trauerfeier für Ludwig XVI., der 1793 als Opfer der Französischen Revolution hingerichtet worden war. Ihm zum Gedächtnis fand am 21. Januar 1817, dem Jahrestag seines Todes, in der Kirche von St. Denis ein Gottesdienst statt, bei dem die Komposition Cherubinis erstmals aufgeführt wurde. Das Werk ist mit gemischtem Chor und großem Orchester besetzt, verzichtet indes auf Solostimmen und lässt an die Stelle virtuoskonzertanter Wirkungen eine stark textgeprägte Verinnerlichung treten. In voller Konzentration auf das Wesentliche wird jede pure Äußerlichkeit vermieden,

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

Ensemble
Hofkapelle Stuttgart
The Hofkapelle Stuttgart, founded in 2006 by Frieder Bernius to complement the Barockorchester Stuttgart, concentrates on repertoire from the 19th century performed on authentic instruments. One of its main focusses is the rediscovery of music-historical treasures, particularly works from the south-west German region (by composers such as Kalliwoda, Knecht and Holzbauer). The Hofkapelle and Barockorchester Stuttgart regularly perform at international festivals (Rome, Salzburg, Göttingen, Dresden, etc.). CDs made by both groups have received many awards: the Missa Dei Patris by Jan Dismas Zelenka was nominated for the Cannes Classical Award, and the Incidental Music to Shakespeare’s Ein Sommernachtstraum [A Midsummer Night’s Dream] by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was featured by Rondo magazine and awarded the Star of the Month prize by Fono Forum magazine. Mozart’s Requiem received the Diapason d’or de l’année 2003, Johann Gottlieb Naumann’s opera Aci e Galatea was named opera recording of the year in Opernwelt magazine and Bach’s Easter Oratorio included in the Quarterly Critics’ Choice of the German Record Critics’ Award. The group’s recording of Bach’s B Minor Mass was Editor’s Choice in Gramophone magazine. 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.
