  • Steffi Lehmann Was Born Near the Saxon Capital Dresden and Studied
    Steffi Lehmann was born near the Saxon capital Dresden and studied Opera singing at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" in Leipzig with Mr. Dirk Schmidt. While still a student, the soprano was awarded first prize at the 2008 singing competition of the Deutsche Mozartgesellschaft and received a scholarship from the Richard Wagner Association for the Bayreuth Festival in 2009. After completing her studies to become a qualified opera singer and music pedagogue, she made her first engagement at the Bremen Opera. In the following seasons she sang the important roles of her profession, among them Sophie (Rosenkavalier), Pamina (The Magic Flute), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel), Ännchen (Der Freischütz), Julia de Weert (Der Vetter aus Dingsda), Donna Clara (Der Zwerg), Fiorella (The Bandits) and Adele (The Bat). With her much acclaimed debut as Dora in the performance of Franz Hummel's contemporary opera Bluebeard, Steffi Lehmann has been highly praised in the press (e.g. Opernglas, Opernwelt) and has been a welcome guest for performances of contemporary works worldwide ever since. Steffi Lehmann was awarded the renowned "Kurt Hübner Prize" by the Theater Bremen in 2012 for her outstanding artistic work. To expand her repertoire, the soprano moved to the Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar in 2013, where she appeared for the first time as Blonde in Mozart's "Entführung aus dem Serail", as Sophie in Massenet's "Werther", as Musetta in Puccini's "La Bohème", as Yvonne in Krenek's twenties opera "Jonny spielt auf", and as young woman in the premiere of "Vom Lärm der Welt" with music by Sven Helbig.

  • Franz Hummel
    HYPERIUMmusic presents FRANZ HUMMEL • COMPOSER • Franz Hummel was born in 1939 and is one of today’s most renowned and original European composers. In his childhood, he was discovered, supported and encouraged by Richard Strauss, Eugen Papst, Hans Knappertsbusch and Elly Ney, and subsequently became a pianist (although he had started to compose at the age of seven). He gave concerts throughout Europe and the USA, making over 60 LP recordings that encompass almost the entire classical and romantic repertoire, as well as many modern works. His last major tour as a pianist was in 1973 through what was then the USSR. From 1973 on, he dedicated himself to composition and only gave sporadic concerts. Hummel’s “farewell concert” in New York’s Carnegie Hall in 1996, received a standing ovation and Kurt Masur, who was present at this concert, expressed his admiration for Hummel and his partner, the violinist Liana Issakadze. Franz Hummel’s operas, symphonies, ballet scores, concertos and chamber music have been played by famous instrumentalists and orchestras. Some of his operas (there are 19 to date) have been shown throughout Europe: Zarathustra based on Friedrich Nietzsche’s life and philosophic work, was recently premiered in Regensburg, Fouché was the opening opera for the “Cultural Capital of Europe” Linz 09 in Austria, Blaubart, a parable on Sigmund Freud’s Case History “Dora”, was performed about 120 times in cities including Moscow, Paris, London and Rome. The production was recorded in 1985 for German Television. Hummel’s Violin Concerto Archaeopteryx was premiered in1988 in German Television with the Südwestfunk Orchestra and the violinist Ulf Hoelscher, who then gave the live premiere in St.

  • Detailed Biography
    Detailed biography Ambassador of Tonal Sensuality Elena Denisova ranks as one of the finest and most charismatic violinists of her generation. Known for her great musical maturity, individual style of interpretation and supreme virtuosity, her performances have won critical acclaim from press and public alike. Biography Denisova was born in Moscow and, as a young child, was fascinated by Jascha Heifetz’s expressive playing and versatility of tone; she loved listening to his records over and over in her childhood home. Her parents supported this highly sensitive talent, and she recorded her first LP, Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No.2, while still a pupil at the music school of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Highly influential among her teachers were two of David Oistrach’s most renowned students, Valery Klimov and later Oleg Kagan at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, which ranks as the foremost institution for Russia’s most talented musicians. She graduated with distinction. She has won many violin competitions and initially was active as a soloist and chamber musician in the former USSR – for example as soloist of the Moscow State Philharmonic and first violinist of the Moscow National Quartet. In 1990 she extended her concert performances to Western Europe, and found a second home in Austria. Elena Denisova has been an Austrian citizen since 1992. In Austria she founded the Österreichische Gustav Mahler Vereinigung, the Gustav Mahler Ensemble and the Classic Etcetera Musikvereinigung. She is also the artistic director of the Carinthian-based Woerthersee Classics Festival, which she founded in 2002 and which has already gained a strong international reputation.
