German vocal ensemble From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rheinische Kantorei is a German vocal ensemble of baroque music accompanied by an instrumental ensemble called Das Kleine Konzert.
The Rheinische Kantorei and Das Kleine Konzert were founded in 1977 by the German conductor Hermann Max.[1][2][3][4]
This vocal ensemble has between twelve and thirty-two singers.[5]
It has worked with soloists such as soprano Barbara Schlick, tenors Paul Elliott and Christoph Prégardien and basses Gotthold Schwarz and Stephen Varcoe.
Its repertoire is mainly Renaissance and Baroque but also includes classical and romantic works.[5]
The ensemble intensively explores the repertoire of representatives of the different generations of the Bach family:
It also focuses on Johann Sebastian Bach's predecessors (Franz Tunder, Philipp Heinrich Erlebach, Christoph Bernhard, Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer), to his contemporaries (Johann Friedrich Fasch, Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, Christoph Graupner) as well as to later Baroque composers (Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Heinrich Graun, Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf, Gottfried August Homilius).
