Schubert - Beethoven - Hartmann (Bernius)
Schubert's "Ouvertüre in C minor" D 8 and Beethoven's "String Quartet in F Major" op. 135 are borderline cases of their genres. They were composed for chamber music ensembles, but through their clear orchestral traits they soon found their way into the repertoire in the orchestral versions recorded here. With its use of quotations from composers whose works were forbidden after 1933, the "Concerto funebre" demonstrates Karl Amadeus Hartmann's resistance against the political situation as it existed in 1939, the year the work was composed. Partially atonal in conception, the Concerto funebre, with its use of varied musical material, grips the listener with immediacy. Not least, the emotionally-tinged interpretation of this Concerto by the Streicherakademie Bozen, conducted by Frieder Bernius, makes a contribution to this character.

Ensemble
Streicherakademie Bozen
The Streicherakademie Bozen was founded in 1987 by the Südtiroler Musikverein under the artistic direction of Georg Egger. It consists mainly of musicians from South Tirol who have gained extensive chamber and orchestral music experience in important international ensembles and who are now passing the fruits of their experience on to younger players. The Streicherakademie generally plays without a conductor. Under Frieder Bernius, a number of members of the Streicherakademie have regularly played together with the Klassische Philharmonie Stuttgart and over the past several years an artistic partnership has developed between these two ensembles for works requiring a larger ensemble. In addition to its own annual concert series, the Streicherakademie is regularly invited to important festivals such as the Mozartwoche in Salzburg, the Gustav-Mahler-Wochen in Toblach and the Engadiner Festwochen. Soloists who have appeared with the ensemble include Sergio Azzolini, Juliane Banse, Eduard Brunner, Giuliano Carmignola, Mirijam Contzen, Ingeborg Danz, Christian Gerhaher, Dietrich Henschel, Heinz Holliger, Diethelm Jonas, Louis Lortie, Antonio Meneses, Johannes Moser, Sabine und Wolfgang Meyer, Birgit Remmert, Sibylla Rubens, Andràs Schiff, Thomas Quasthoff, Wen-Sinn Yang and Ruth Ziesak. The Streicherakademie’s extensive repertoire ranges from Bach, Handel and Zelenka by way of Schubert/Mahler (Der Tod und das Mädchen) and Mendelssohn to Britten, Bartók, Stravinsky, Schönberg, Schnebel and Stuppner. Hitherto it has made several CD recordings, featuring works of C. Ph. E. Bach, Boccherini, Mozart, Rossini, Schönberg, Strauss and Stuppner. 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.
