Fritz Stüssi (1874 – 1923) attended the Gymnasium in Zurich as well as the Zurich Music School, from which he graduated as a pianist and composer.
He then continued his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in Berlin (counterpoint with Reinhold Succo, composition with Max Bruch).
After his return to Switzerland, Stüssi took over the direction of various choirs in Wädenswil, where he also took up residence in 1898. In 1902 he was elected organist and from then on had a lasting influence on musical events in and around Wädenswil. Stüssi’s oratorio “Vergehen und Auferstehen” was performed in 1914 and the “28th Psalm” in 1921. Between 1898 and 1912, Stüssi also took over the direction of other choirs and orchestras in Uster, Männedorf, Rapperswil, Lachen, Richterswil, Thalwil and Zurich. He was thus a kind of music king around Lake Zurich.

With its first own recording of a cappella repertoire, the Zurcher Sing- Akademie reveals its musical and emotional identity and opens the door to the unique Swiss musical landscape. HERZBLUT provides an insight into the multifaceted work of Swiss composers, from the Romantic period to the present day.
The programme presents works deeply rooted in the Swiss cultural heritage. It enables the 32-member vocal ensemble to remarkably deploy its transparent and warm sound.
But above all, HERZBLUT embarks listeners on a journey into their inner selves, that infinitely rich and fragile world to which little attention is paid in everyday life. Yet it is precisely these delicate sounds that show us who we are and where we come from. We only need to listen.
