Josef Rheinberger: 125th anniversary of his death

Andreas Post | baritone
Thorsten Pech | organ

---

The programme marks the 125th anniversary of the death of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, with works by the Romantic composer alongside pieces by his teachers and a selection of his nearly 600 students. The evening closes with Franz Liszt's setting for baritone and organ "Cantico del sole di San Francesco", composed in Rome in 1862 - a work from the circle of Rheinberger's contemporaries.

Baritone Andreas Elias Post studied singing (diploma and master's degree) in Detmold and Düsseldorf under Prof. Gerhild Romberger, Prof. Konrad Jarnot and KS Prof. Mario Zeffiri. Engagements have taken him to the Kammeroper Köln, the Greek Opera Studio, the Alltagsoper Berlin, and as a guest to Theater Bielefeld; in 2017 he appeared at the Sommeropern Festival Schloss Britz in Berlin. In the 2018/19 season he performed at Theater Hagen, and in 2021/22 as Cascada in "The Merry Widow" at Landestheater Detmold. He made his debut as Falke in "Die Fledermaus" in 2022; he is currently appearing in "Don Giovanni - die Stunde der Frauen" and can be heard in summer at the "Domstufen-Festspielen" in Erfurt.

Thorsten Andreas Pech, born in 1960 in Elberfeld, spent nearly five decades as a concert organist, conductor, choir director and cantor. After his cantor's examination in 1980 and organ studies (examination 1983), he completed conductor training in Vienna (examination 1985). As a concert organist he has performed in China, Japan, Poland, Russia and across Western Europe. From 1977 to 2025 he served as cantor and organist, most recently in a full-time post in Wuppertal; from 1989 to 2021 he led the Bachverein Düsseldorf as artistic director, and from 2003 to 2025 the Konzertchor der Volksbühne Wuppertal. In 1998 the Fachverband Deutscher Berufschorleiter awarded him the title of "Musikdirektor"; in 2016 he received the prize of the Enno und Christa Springmann Stiftung. He now lives in Weimar and remains active.
