  • Prof. Michael Maul an Den Thomanerchor
    Brief von Prof. Dr. Michael Maul an den Thomanerchor vom 23. März 2021: Lieber, verehrter Thomanerchor, erlaubt mir, dass ich euch in der von euch initiierten öffentlichen Debatte Besetzung Thomaskantorat ein paar Zeilen schreibe. Und erlaubt mir ebenfalls, dass ich dies in der kollegialen Du/ihr-Form tue. Ich bin zwar nie einer von euch gewesen (dafür singe ich viel zu schlecht), aber ich hatte das Vergnügen, euch vor zwei Jahren mal an einem Abend Einblicke in das Thomaner-Sein der Bach-Zeit zu geben. Und als ein Bach- Forscher, der viel über die ältere Geschichte eurer Institution gearbeitet hat und – wie ihr – das Privileg hat, sein Berufsleben als Bach-Forscher und Bachfest-Intendant ganz dem unglaublichen Erbe Johann Sebastian Bachs zu widmen, betrachte ich mich sozusagen als euer Bruder in der gleichen Sache. Auch bin ich nicht Teil der Berufungskommission für den neuen Thomaskantor gewesen und habe deshalb nur bedingt Einblick in den Ablauf des Verfahrens gehabt. Immerhin kenne ich aber eine Handvoll der Kandidaten gut, nicht zuletzt, weil manche auch zu mir den Kontakt gesucht und mir ihre Ideen für ihr anvisiertes Thomaskantorat vorgestellt haben. Zudem will ich auch ehrlich bekennen, dass ich mich noch vor Beginn des Berufungsprozesses stark für eine Verlängerung von Gotthold Schwarz‘ Vertrag ausgesprochen habe – namentlich, weil ich in den letzten Jahren von euch unter seiner Leitung Bach-Aufführungen gehört habe, die mich sehr bewegt und mit dem transparenten, frischen Chorklang und der nach den Prinzipien der historisch informierten Aufführungspraxis gestalteten Artikulation in Chor und Orchester sehr überzeugt haben. Es wurde dann aber von den Verantwortlichen die Entscheidung getroffen, einen Neubesetzungsprozess zu starten, und ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass alle Beteiligten – namentlich der frisch ins Amt gelangte neue Geschäftsführer Emanuel Scobel – dabei versuchten, verantwortungsvoll die Parameter so zu gestalten, dass das Ganze nicht wieder so ausgeht, wie die Ausspielung der Nachfolge G.C.

  • Discover Luthercountry
    Discover LutherCountry Tour 1 – 3 days/2 overnights Munich Airport (MUC) and Frankfurt Airport (FRA) welcome direct flights from countries around the world. Travelling by car is a convenient way to get around in LutherCountry. A well-developed infrastructure ensures a safe and quick arrival at your desired destination. Tour 1 starts in Eisenach, which is located only 120 miles of Frankfurt Airport. Day 1 Eisenach and Wartburg Castle Highlights in Eisenach include the Luther House, where Luther lived while studying at the local Latin school and the Bach House dedicated to composer Johann Sebastian Bach, a passionate Lutheran. High on a hill close to Eisenach, the imposing Wartburg Castle is arguably the best preserved in central Europe, and the only one in Germany to have UNESCO World Heritage Site status. With its courtyard and steep walls, it is as impressive now as it was when Luther arrived. Visitors can step into the very room where he lived and wrote. Overnight in Eisenach (Eisenach - Erfurt: 40 miles) Day 2 Erfurt Nicknamed the Rome of the North for its array of some 30 spires and steeples, Erfurt is one of Germany's most beautiful cities and Luther's spiritual home. Here Luther studied, became a monk and lived in the Augustinian monastery. In the old heart of the city, the Merchants' Bridge (the Krämerbrücke) is still lined with houses and shops. Lutherstadt Eisleben Luther was born here in 1483. He returned many times throughout his live and, in a poetic close to the circle of life, died here in 1546. The town claims to have introduced the world's first 'heritage tourism': Martin Luther's Birth House ('Geburtshaus').
