德国汉诺威男声合唱团被誉为全欧洲演绎巴洛克时期到古今最出色的合唱团之一。该合唱团由当时23岁就读于法兰克福最早期的音乐学院的音乐系学生海因茨-亨尼希教授(Heinz Hennig)成立于1950年。他在报纸上刊登广告,将一群广受尊敬和推崇的实力歌手招至麾下,这就是汉诺威男声合唱团的雏形。1950年至2001年期间,海因茨-亨尼希教授一直担任汉诺威男声合唱团的指挥,到2001年底,指挥一职由现任著名的耶尔格-布赖丁教授 -- Prof. J-rg Breiding 接任。时隔60年后,该团在全球男声合唱团界始终处于领先地位。
汉诺威男声合唱团由清一色的男生组成,采用正统美声发声方法来拓宽音域,使声音更加柔和,声部之间也更加和谐,以男童声音来代替女声声部,却又比女声有更加纯净圣洁的音色。演唱风格积极向上,纯真自然。
作为历史悠久的著名音乐团体,汉诺威男声合唱团演绎的曲目广泛,从文艺复兴的合唱作品到现代音乐,既有合唱交响类曲目也有无伴奏的歌曲,无不展示着其娴熟的技巧及深厚的艺术底蕴。特别是演绎著名音乐“西方音乐之父”巴赫的作品,汉诺威男声合唱团更是远远超过其他合唱团。与奥地利古乐音乐演奏家、指挥家莱昂哈特(Leonhardt)合作录制的巴赫合唱作品,以及与当今古乐权威之一的库普兰指挥(Ton Koopman)下的阿姆斯特丹巴洛克管弦乐队合作录制的布克斯特胡德合唱曲“布克斯特胡德:康塔塔”(Buxtehude Cantatas)即是明证。
合唱团录制的舒茨(Schütz )作品唱片集,更是为如何演绎音乐作品树立了全新标准。所有唱片均获法国评论家奖即 “法国音叉唱片奖 -- Diapason D’or”;“1648年的宗教合唱圣乐Geistliche Chormusik” 获得由德国唱片协会颁发的“德国唱片大奖--Deutschen Schallplattenpreis”, 现称“德国回声大奖-- ECHO” 的荣誉大奖。
The Knabenchor Hannover has traditionally performed of seventeenth-century composers, namely Heinrich Schütz. The choir's five Schütz recordings, conducted by Hennig between 1982 and 1999, set standards for performances of this repertoire, four of them won prizes such as the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis. The choir turned to works of Andreas Hammerschmidt in 1998, recording his sacred choral music.
The Knabenchor Hannover was among the first choirs to take an interest in historically informed performance and achieved international acclaim. Conductors such as Gustav Leonhardt, Ton Koopman and Christoph Eschenbach have worked with the choir, as have orchestras such as the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and German radio orchestras.
Besides performing at festivals both in Germany and abroad (including Israel, Japan, Russia, South and Central America, the US and South Africa), the Knabenchor Hannover has recorded regularly and can frequently be heard on radio.
In 2000 the choir celebrated 50 years with a recorded performance in Hannover of Bach's St Matthew Passion together with the Thomanerchor.
In 2006, the Knabenchor Hannover was awarded the Echo Klassik in the category "choral works - recording of the year" for the CD "Verleih uns Frieden" including the world's first recording of several works by Andreas Hammerschmidt that were believed lost for more than 350 years.
In 2009 Harald Weiss dedicated his requiem composition Schwarz vor Augen und es ward Licht to the Knabenchor Hannover, premiered on 31 October 2009 with the NDR Symphony Orchestra and soloists Dorothee Mields and Andreas Karasiak.
In 2010 the choir celebrates 60 years with Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610, 400 years after the works first publication.
