About

“My commitment to the present new recording is not only important because of advanced ensemble techniques, but also because I believe that with a cast of soloists, as in the sixteen-part Hora est, transparency of the polyphonic movement can be achieved that is not so readily feasible with larger forces. A prerequisite here is the existence of ensemble capabilities among vocal soloists, as we also need it for earlier music. In any case, the vocal works which are also particularly interesting to me among those Mendelssohn composed for the Sing-Akademie are those of stylistically ambiguous definition, in which the composer, inspired by the example of the old masters, looks for – and finds – his own path. Our conception of being able to cast soloists from a chorus, as in the Te Deum, is also influenced by this model.“ (Frieder Bernius)

“… The Stuttgart Chamber Choir … sings with perfect blend, intonation, and a clear, precise sound, perfectly suited for these multi-voice pieces…”

Robert Delcamp – American Record Guide – September/October 2021

“… Again and again one marvels at the interweaving, the finely graduated linking of the individual voices into an overall structure. How Bach, who clearly left his mark on Mendelssohn, and the romantic passion are cleverly combined is exemplary in this recording. The balance is right: no baroque imitation but just as little romantic furor of faith, instead atmospheric interpretations between great hymn of praise and intimate contemplation. *****
