Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Collegium Aureum was the name of a 1962 founded and until its dissolution in Cologne resident chamber orchestra .
The Collegium Aureum was created on the initiative of the Freiburg production company Deutsche Harmonia Mundi as a free association of highly qualified and well-known instrumental soloists who set themselves the goal of producing musical works of the 17th, 18th and (from 1976) also the early 19th century to achieve a so-called " fair sound picture "for the record to produce. The members of the ensemble wanted to make their own contribution to the revival of historical performance practice and try out, as the music works of both the early music as well as the classical and early romanticismsound when performed on old instruments, with old playing technique, and always in stylish rooms. In the Fugger Castle in Kirchheim in Swabia , the musicians found an acoustically suitable site for rehearsals and production. In the sign of the golden intersection of the renaissance cedar hall in Schloss Kirchheim , the musicians "colleagues" found themselves together to the golden college, the Collegium Aureum , as they called themselves from then on.

In 1962 the first recordings appeared on the record market. Public concerts followed, soon also productions on radio and television. In the following years, the Collegium Aureum, led by concertmaster Franzjosef Maier as primus inter pares , gained a worldwide reputation. Concert tours led to England, France, Japan, Latin America, North Africa, the Netherlands, the then USSR and the countries of the Middle East.

Well-known ensemble members included Gustav Leonhardt (harpsichord), Hans-Martin Linde (flute), Franz Beyer (viola), Reinhard Goebel (violin) and Wolfgang Preissler (timpani).

The extensive discography that has been created over more than three decades confirms the artistic status of this special ensemble. In the 1990s, the ensemble gradually dissolved.
