Following its formation, the Amarcord singers took master classes from the Hilliard Ensemble and the King's Singers. The five members - tenors Wolfram and Martin Lattke baritone Frank Ozimek and basses Daniel Knauft and Holger Krause - were previously singers in the Leipzig-based St. Amarcord has made numerous recordings for several labels, including Raumklang, Ars Musici, and EuroArts.Īmarcord was formed in autumn 1992 in Leipzig. The group also sings madrigals, Christmas songs, and various secular works, including Classical, Romantic, and modern compositions, as well as pop and rock. Much of the early music repertory is from the sacred realm, consisting of chant, hymns, motets, and other religious genres. The sound is quite individual, imparting a mellow, somewhat Romantic approach to the vocal style, with the two tenor voices often singing the lead parts. There are two tenors, one baritone, and two basses.
Amarcord is an unusual ensemble in that it consists of just five singers who sing a cappella.
The group also sings works by contemporary composers and performs arrangements of songs from various periods. Amarcord is a popular male vocal ensemble devoted largely to Medieval- and Renaissance-era music.
