Messe en ut mineur
édité et complété par Frieder Bernius & Uwe Wolf KV 427
La Messe en ut mineur KV 427 de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart est fascinante. Elle n'a pas été achevée par Mozart, depuis le XIXe siècle, on essaye en permanence de la compléter pour permettre son exécution – avec des résultats très différents. Frieder Bernius et Uwe Wolf viennent de présenter une nouvelle édition de la Messe de Mozart, qui essaye de permettre de la donner avec un grand respect du matériel existant, sans masquer le style musical de Mozart avec leur propre contribution. Dans le double chœur « Qui tollis » ou la fugue « Cum Sancto Spiritu », les choristes sont en tout cas mis à contribution – et malgré cela, l'ambiance de l'œuvre ne doit pas s'en ressentir. Si la bonne combinaison entre justesse et interprétation est trouvée, personne, ni les participants, ni les auditeurs, ne pourra échapper à la fascination de cette œuvre.
Pour la Messe en ut mineur KV 247 de Mozart, pour la première fois, le coach propose du chant. Le coach est basé sur les voix séparées enregistrées du Kammerchor de Stuttgart et rend le travail encore plus agréable.
Le Carus Choir Coach offre aux choristes une aide unique pour apprendre leur voix au sein de la sonorité du chœur et de l’orchestre. Pour chaque voix, un CD audio ou MP3 et un téléchargement est disponible avec tous les mouvements chantés par le chœur. Le CD se base sur un enregistrement d’interprètes prestigieux, qui ont pour celui-ci utilisé l’édition Urtext de Carus. Chaque mouvement est présenté en trois variantes :
- Version originale
- Coach : la voix sélectionnée est faite ressortir, avec l’enregistrement original en arrière-plan
- Coach en mode ralenti : l'enregistrement comme le coach sont ralentis à environ 70 % du tempo initial, ainsi les passages difficiles peuvent être travaillés efficacement.
Interprètes : Sarah Wegener (Soprano), Sophie Harmsen (Mezzosoprano), Colin Balzer (Tenore), Felix Rathgeber (Basso) – Kammerchor Stuttgart, Hofkapelle Stuttgart – Frieder Bernius

Compositeur
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
| 1756-1791As the son of the deputy Kapellmeister to the Salzburg Prince-Archbishop, Mozart was constantly surrounded by church music in his youth. On his travels Mozart became familiar with Italian church music, and later in Vienna he studied the works of Bach and Handel. After moving to Vienna he was faced with the new challenges of composing opera and piano concertos, and significantly the “C Minor Mass” KV 427, the greatest sacred work of the first Vienna years, remained unfinished. The last period of his life again shows a change of direction to church music: Mozart successfully applied to succeed the terminally ill Leopold Hoffmann as Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral, but he was unable to take up the position as he died before Hoffmann. A gem such as the “Ave verum” KV 618 and the incomplete Requiem KV 626 give us an idea of what Mozart might have achieved as a composer of sacred music if he had taken up this important position.

Arrangeur
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.
