The German bass, Hartmut Hein, already began and continued his singing training with seventeen years with KS Wilhelm Bauer in Coburg, and at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich with Friedrich Wührer (piano) and Professor Gerhard Hüsch (voice). Following that he took for several years further assistance in singing with Professor Hilde Wesselmann from the Folkwanghochschule in Essen.
As a concert singer in the area of the Lieder, oratorio and particularly within the range of early music, Hartmut Hein was long-time member of the well-known Ulsamer Collegium, performed in concerts under well-known conductors (Karl Richter, Helmuth Rilling, Wolfgang Gönnenwein and others); appeared in TV programs from Saarländischer, Hessischer and Bayerischer Rundfunk, and paticipated in numerous recordings for many German radio stations, as well as CD/LP recordings. Concerts tours took him to almost all South American countries, Canada, the USA, Japan and many European countries.
But for Hartmut Hein, the music-educational work - first at the High School, then since 1977 at the college of music - has always kept an equal standing value. From 1961 to 1969, he worked as a teacher at a “musisches Gymnasium” (grammar school with a focus on the fine arts) in Aschaffenburg; from 1979 to 2002, he was Professor for voice, piano accompaniment for school teachers and voice training/physiology at the Hochschule für Musik in Würzburg.
Starting from 2002, increased composing activities (mostly “crossover” music, influenced by jazz and pop, many pieces aimed at a young audience; musicals, lieder, masses, cantatas published by Carus Stuttgart, Möseler, Haas-Musikverlag Köln. |
