L'auteur de l'avant-propos
Simone Eckert
When the 8-year-old Simone Eckert was asked what she wanted to become, she answered “a viola da gamba player.” She ignored all well-meaning exhortations to get a “real” job and now lives and works as a freelance musician close to Hamburg. Since she received her diploma in Early music in 1990 at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, she has been active as viola da gamba player, as artistic director, agent and manager of her ensemble Hamburger Ratsmusik, as musicologist, editor of newly rediscovered music for viola da gamba and as a music pedagogue in and around Hamburg. Simone Eckert performs at all the important festivals in Germany and in many European countries. Plus d'information sur la personne

Ensemble
Hamburger Ratsmusik
The ensemble Hamburger Ratsmusik has had a long and close association with Johann Philipp Krieger. After all, his operas were performed by the original group during the composer’s lifetime at the Oper am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg. Over a decade ago, the ensemble revived Krieger’s cantatas from the Bokemeyer Collection, performed them at Schloss Gottorf, and recorded them on CD. This exploratory work led to creative collaborations and friendships, as with the Krieger scholar Dr. Klaus-Jürgen Gundlach. The performance of the Musicalischer Seelen- Frieden in the place for which it was written, the Weissenfels Schlosskirche, was one of the highlights in this regard. However, the greatest surprise came from another Herr Krieger, who spoke to the Hamburger Ratsmusik musicians after a concert in Altdorf in Franconia, and then showed them his ancestors’ charter of nobility from Emperor Leopold. This CD, which the ensemble recorded with Doro thee Mields, forms part of this living tradition. In recording these concert her indescribable and committed singing, always guaranteed a thrilling experience. After 21 years of working together as an ensemble, 25 CDs – almost all world premiere recordings – numerous concerts, two Echo-Klassik awards and a growing enthusiasm for the music of the Renaissance, Baroque, and classical periods, Hamburger Ratsmusik is looking forward to more discoveries and projects.

Critiques
Das Stuttgarter Label Carus ist immer wieder für ganz wunderbare Entdeckungen gut. […] die hier vorgestellten Konzerte und Kantaten haben beachtliches Format, was dank der ebenso sensiblen wie engagierten Interpretation der Hamburger Ratsmusik deutlich wird.
Die Rheinpfalz, 16. Februar 2013
Die beiden Vokalisten setzen die dramatischen Aspekte engagiert um, sensibel begleitet von den insgesamt sieben Instrumentalisten der Hamburger Ratsmusik, die mit einer schlichten, schwungvollen Eleganz musizieren - eine Einspielung, die sowohl vom Repertoire als auch von der Interpretation her besticht.
Almut Jedicke, Die Tonkunst, Oktober 2012
Graciousness and melodic invention […] facility and good spirits.
Jonathan Woolf, musicweb-international.com, Dezember 2012
I cannot imagine better singers in this repertoire […] The instrumental music is well done […]
Early Music Review, August 2012
Ein instruktiver und künstlerisch rundum gelungener Blick auf Geistliche Konzerte Johann Christian Schieferdeckers […] Simone Eckerts Ratsmusik nähert sich Schieferdeckers vokalinstrumentalen Kompositionen mit wachem Geist, mit lebendiger Musikalität und mit Respekt zugleich. Das eminente kompositorische Potenzial wird mit leichter Hand entfaltet und für die variantenreiche Szene des norddeutschen Geistlichen Konzerts jener Jahre ein bemerkenswerter diskographischer Impuls gegeben. Schließlich haben wichtige Platten – auch die vorliegende gehört ohne Zweifel dazu – dafür gesorgt, dass Schieferdecker im Repertoire immer mehr an Statur gewinnt und aus seinem musikhistorischen Schattenplatz deutlicher ins Licht rückt.
