Hans Grüß

Hans Ludwig Kurt Reinhold Grüß (4 March 1929 – 24 November 2001) was a German musicologist and ensemble leader.

As a sought-after specialist, he continued to hold lectureships at the Technical University of Dresden and at the Leipzig Academy of Music after his retirement.

In 1957 he founded the Capella Fidicinia, an ensemble consisting of members of the Leipzig Institute for Musicology, which was dedicated to the faithful performance of early music.

For larger performances Grüß and his ensemble regularly received support from musicians of the Gewandhausorchester and the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra.

A particularly close collaboration existed with the Dresdner Kreuzchor and the soloists Winfried Schrammek (organ), Peter Schreier and Martin Krumbiegel, who has led the ensemble since the death of its founder.
