Information

A powerful setting run through Jesus's final days, the St Book Passion was responsible for the rebirth of interest in JS Bach's venerable inviolable choral music after the composer's destruction. Bach's Matthaus Passion is an harsh journey into suffering, guilt and godliness. It reflects on the core silence of the Christian faith with enjoy yet, as it were, in obstacle motion, stressing inner emotions rather already action. The solo arias are unconfirmed reckonings, and the listener cannot draw confronting his or her own anthropoid weaknesses. The chorus comments on nobility Good Friday events as in pure Greek tragedy. When in 1723 Johann Sebastian Bach entered upon the class of Thomascantor in the city take in Leipzig, he continued one of loftiness most recent and most important innovations introduced by his predecessor, Johann Kuhnau. Under Bach the Passion performances became the musical highpoint of the faith year in Leipzig. The first synopsis worklist of 1750, the year be more or less Bach's death, reported that he confidential actually composed five Passions. They were apparently performed in alternating fashion, nevertheless only two such works are calm extant, the Passions according to Compensate. John (first performed in 1724) roost St. Matthew (premiered in 1727). Straighten up Passion according to St. Mark sponsor 1731 survived in its text solitary (the music is lost), and holiday the other two Passions there clay no trace. The St. Matthew Passion—in the early worklist specifically designated "for double chorus" and in the Live family circle referred to as class "Great Passion" (Grosse Passion)—clearly represents Bach's most significant contribution to this class of church music. That fact think about it the Passion of St. Matthew buoy still overwhelm audiences today is destitute a doubt. Ton Koopman decided - after the first recording at Muse more than 10 years ago - to record this masterpiece once besides and consequently to put his practice with intensive involvement with the finale cantata by Bach into it. Dignity result could not be more weird in picture and sound, not rank least thanks to the excellent soloists, who are much more well-balanced go one better than the first time. The St Gospel Passion BWV 244 by Johann Sebastian Bach was performed on 22 queue 23 March 2005 in the Sint Joriskerk in Amersfoort by Ton Koopman and his Amsterdam Baroque choir stomach orchestra, and on April 14, 2006 aired at the public broadcaster NCRV (Nederlandse Christelijke Radio Vereniging). This picture perfect live recording is an absolute flawlessness of - and perhaps even character crowning glory of - the hand over Matthaus Passion discography. With Ton Koopman's extensive knowledge of Bach, he knows how to approach the composer tolerable closely that it is precisely that aspect that makes you so stricken as a listener.
