KAMMERVEREINIGUNG
BERLIN - wind quintet
The Kammervereinigung Berlin was foundet in 1984 by five joung
musicians - then still students at the Berlin Musikhochschule
- who soon succeeted in developing a joint stylistic concept
under the guidance of their mentor Professor Eberhardt Grünenthal.
It is not the aggregate of individual achievements that is importend;
it is the formation of a homogeneous, unified sound that will
truly engender soloist playing.
The ensemble's steadily growing repertoire pays equal attention
to standard works of the quintet literature and lesser known
or new compositions which charmingly anlarge the expressive potential
of chamber music for winds.
The Kammervereinigung gave its competition debut in Colmar (France)
in 1988 and althought the youngest quintet taking part, succeedet
in winning second price and the spezial jury prize in the international
chamber music competition there. In 1989 the quintet was a pricewinner
(third prize) at the ARD public broadcasting network's International
Music Competition in Munich. This period marked the beginning
of an exceptionally fruitful artistic partnership whith Prof.
Michael Höltzel (Detmold/Germany), who took the young artists
under his wing.
In 1991 the Kammervereinigung Berlin won the German Music Competition
in Bonn, making it the first ensemble from the new east German
Länder to be award this prize. This was a succes that received
elegant confirmation in the autumn of 1993 when the Kammervereinigung
again won a ARD competition prize.
Apart from performing together as a quintet, whith guest appearances
all over Europe, the young musicians play (some of them in solo
positions) with various German orchestras: the Norddeutsche Philharmonie
Rostock, the Orchestra of Komische Oper Berlin, the Staatskapelle
Berlin and the orchestra of the Bayreuther Festspiele.
The Edition
What makes the European atmosphere so intense? What defines the
European heritage? Where can you find the roots of European culture?
Guided by these questions, we document major works of European
music in live-recordings at one of the most authentic cisalpean
places by our Edition Monastery Maulbronn.
I´ve tasted myself physically the perfect accoustical and
architectical beauty of this performing place and the exquisite
musical staging - which deeply impressed me. An editor cannot
but follow his intention to preserve those cultural values for
the posterity.
