During his lifetime Hans Fahrmann was known as Inchthe Richard Strauss of the organ.Inch Today the compositions of this composer and organist, who was born in 1860 in Beicha, Saxony, are largely unknown. Frieder Bernius has now devoted himself to Fahrmann's sacred vocal works and has found the SWR Vokalensemble to be the ideal partner for these late romantic a cappella works. The motets, whose demanding harmonies also demand professional ensembles, are now available on album for the first time. The SWR vocal ensemble has mastered this challenge brilliantly. For Frieder Bernius, a conductor always on the lookout for exciting choral literature, Fahrmann's compositions represent Inchan indispensable and very welcome enrichment of the late romantic repertoire.Inch How true!

Although the songs for voice play a comparatively minor role in Haydn's oeuvre with piano accompaniment, yet demonstrates the careful installation, preparation and clear differentiation from it's competitors in the intention to appropriate on the open market than in all musical genres, if not recommended as the superior composer and establish. The minor importance, playing his songs today, is one of the many injustices that never really called into question repertoire education, from an ignorant underestimation Haydn speaks. Anne Cambier and Jan Vermeulen spot him here for us again to be extremely skilful song composers.
