The Sound and The Fury (vocal ensemble)

The Sound and the Fury (founded 2005) is an Anglo-German vocal group convening in Brixen and Vienna, specialising entirely in performance of renaissance polyphony of the Franco-Flemish school.

The core members of the group are Thomas E. Bauer (baritone)[1] of Regensburg, whose earlier ensemble Vokalsolisten Ratisbona was the genesis of the ensemble, John Potter (tenor),[2] and Richard Wistreich (bass),[3] supplemented by other singers. The line up of performers on the ensemble's first 2005 recording of Gombert included Ulrike Hofbauer (soprano), David Erler (alto), Hubert Nettinger (tenor), Jason Darnell (tenor), Christof Hartkopf (baritone).

Brixen (in northern Italy) is twinned with Thomas Bauer’s home town of Regensburg and the group, expanded by up to six other German singers, has been known as the Vokalsolisten Ratisbona. The mixture of live concert and rehearsal recordings has produced two CDs for ORF, and on the current release the ensemble found itself renamed The Sound and the Fury. Two more CDs are now complete and the group will reassemble in Vienna in September to record two Ockeghem masses, also for ORF."
