Christian Ridil

With its latest GENUIN production, Camerata Musica Limburg, one of the best male choirs of our time, demonstrates its enormous versatility: choruses and solo lieder by Christian Ridil are on the program. The stylistic range of this outstanding musician and music educator is wide: from student choirs inspired by Romanticism to humorous settings for celebrations and Heine's gloomy Belsatzar. The baritone Nikolaus Fluck, originally a member of the Limburg Cathedral boys choir, sings moving psalm settings and love songs with pianist Andreas Frese. Under the direction of Jan Schumacher the Camerata Musica Limburg demonstrates its best side: spotlessly clean and sonorous – no question why this choir is a welcome guest at festivals worldwide!

"... an impressive work for male choir and piano .... The way he musically interprets the many mood changes and details in Heine's text is truly remarkable."

Klassik Heute.
"The ensemble sound is pure bliss," and composer Christian Ridil shows himself to be "an experienced composer as well as choral conductor, who nevertheless has his own handwriting, which thoroughly seems modern but not extravagant".

Chorzeit
"Wie eine Reise durch das musikalische Leben von Christian Ridil ... Die ehemaligen Limburger Domsingknaben um ihren Dirigenten Jan Schumacher agieren auf gewohnt hohem Niveau und interpretieren die romantisch geprägten Chorwerke erfrischend und textnah."
This is how Tristan Meister evaluates the new CD of Camerata Musica Limburg in the November 2020 issue of "Chorzeit—Das Vokalmagazin" and awards top scores for ensemble sound and interpretation.
