Maximilian Schmitt Entdeckte Seine Liebe Zur Musik Bereits in Jungen Jahren Bei Den Regensburger Domspatzen
Maximilian Schmitt entdeckte seine Liebe zur Musik bereits in jungen Jahren bei den Regensburger Domspatzen. Er studierte Gesang bei Roland Hermann und Prof. Anke Eggers in Berlin. 2005 und 2006 war er Mitglied im Jungen Ensemble der Bayerischen Staatsoper München. Während seiner Münchner Zeit debütierte Maximilian Schmitt am Salzburger Landestheater als Tamino in der Zauberflöte, bevor er sich für vier Jahre beim Ensemble des Mannheimer Nationaltheaters verpflichtete. Dort sang er David/Meistersinger, Lenski/Eugen Onegin und den lyrischen Mozart-Partien wie Tamino, Don Ottavio, Belmonte oder Ferrando. Im Sommer 2012 beschloss Maximilian Schmitt seine erfolgreiche Mannheimer Zeit mit der Titelpartie in Mozarts La Clemenza di Tito. In konzertanten Opernabenden war Maximilian Schmitt mit dem Scottish Chamber Orchestra unter Robin Ticciati (Don Ottavio/Don Giovanni, Ferrando/Così fan tutte) und mit dem WDR Sinfonieorchester mit deutschen romantischen Arien zu erleben. Ende 2012 debütierte er an der Oper Amsterdam als Tamino in der gefeierten Neuproduktion von Simon McBurney unter Marc Albrecht. In René Jacobs‘ Produktion von Mozarts Entführung aus dem Serail mit der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin übernahm er die Partie des Belmonte. Konzertante Vorstellungen führten nach Perugia, in den Amsterdamer Concertgebouw sowie in den BOZAR nach Brüssel. Die CD liegt inzwischen bei harmonia mundi France vor. Neben seiner Leidenschaft für die Oper hat der Konzertgesang großes Gewicht. Sein weit gefächertes Repertoire reicht von Monteverdi über Mozart bis Mendelssohn, eingeladen von Dirigenten wie Franz Welser-Möst, Andrew Manze, Daniel Harding, Thomas Hengelbrock, Fabio Luisi, Andres Orozco Estrada, Marcus Creed, Trevor Pinnock, René Jacobs, Robin Ticciati und Orchestern wie der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, dem Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, den Symphonieorchestern des Bayerischen und des Mitteldeutschen Rundfunks, dem WDR Sinfonieorchester, den Wiener Symphonikern, dem Cleveland Orchestra, dem Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra und dem Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. -

Great Sacred Music Easter Day, April 4, 2021 Traditional, arr. John Rutter: Jesus Christ is risen today The Choir of Saint Thomas Church, New York City; Saint Thomas Brass, John Scott Jeremy Bruns, organ Randall Thompson: Alleluia Harvard University Choir, Murray Forbes Somerville Joseph Noyon, arr. Gerre Hancock: Christus Vincit The Choir of Saint Thomas Church, New York City; St. Thomas Brass, John Scott Jeremy Bruns, organ From Oxford University Press: Christ the Lord Is Risen Today is an arrangement of the Easter hymn tune ‘Lyra Davidica’ for SATB, optional congregation, and organ or brass choir. Dr. Murray Forbes Somerville was Gund University Organist and Choirmaster from 1990 to 2003, The Memorial Church at Harvard University. This festive Easter anthem by French composer Joseph Noyon (1888-1962) is the only piece in his extensive oeuvre which survives in common usage. Henry Ley: The strife is o'er Choir of Liverpool Cathedral, David Poulter Ian Tracey, organ Pietro Mascagni: Regina coeli (Easter Hymn) from Cavalleria rusticana Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Choruses, Robert Shaw Christine Brewer, soprano Diane Bish: Improvisation on the hymn tune "Duke Street" Diane Bish, organ 1969 Walcker organ of the Ulm Cathedral, Austria Francis Pott translated the 17th century Latin text for "The strife is o’er” in 1861. The musical forces which appear in this morning’s performance of Mascagni’s Easter Hymn are as rich and lush as the music itself. Kansas native Diane Bish (1941-) has had a dazzling career as a professional organist. Ms. Bish has played recitals on organs worldwide.
