press review

European Broadcasting Union. Choir competition 'Let the Peoples Sing' The Times. 2001 ...The jury plucked as many as five adult choirs from the semi-finals. So high was the standard, so difficult the adjudication that, although the winners were justifiably the impeccably groomed yet impassioned Chorus Sine Nomine from Austria with their programme of Wolf, Miskinis and Ligeti, two other choirs had to be placed in joint second place.   Bruckner Festival. Linz. Austria. Kronen Zeitung. 1998 … above all ,,Chorus sine nomine" - conducted by Johannes Hiemetsberger - with its elegant and light voices, rhythmic discipline, the careful treatment of language and absolutely dean intonation.

Die Presse. 1998

The magnitude of this vocal ensemble lies in its transparent homogenous sound as well as in the compact and velvety presence of the voices. The rare balance of voices and the insistent forming of an atmospheric overall sound made an exceptional experience of the concert.

Jury. 1997

Johannes Hiemetsberger creates music that asks for sensitive listening. Lovingly and intensively he follows word and sound and treads the narrow path dividing art from nature. The accuracy of his work with the choir is exemplary. The musical performance transmits a meaning.

The natural, vivid quality of the sound, the cultivated treatment of vowels, a sensitively led dynamism and the broad line of phrasing.
