Bio

Helmuth Rilling is a German conductor renowned for his interpretations of Baroque and Classical choral repertoire. Born in Stuttgart in 1933, he founded the Gächinger Kantorei in 1954 and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart in 1965, ensembles that became central to his extensive recordings of J. S. Bach’s cantatas, passions, and oratorios. His work has also encompassed a wide range of other composers from Monteverdi to Brahms, establishing him as a leading figure in historically informed performance practice.
