Matthäus-Passion. Charles Daniels (Evangelist Und Tenor), Peter Harvey
Johann Sebastian Bach: Matthäus-Passion. Charles Daniels (Evangelist und Tenor), Peter Harvey (Jesusworte), Joanne Lunn (Sopran), Margot Oitzinger (Alt), Wolf Matthias Friedrich (Bass), Chor und Orchester der J.S. Bach-Stiftung, Leitung: Rudolf Lutz. JSB 3 CDs 7640151160111. Seit 2007 führt die schweizerische „J.S. Bach-Stiftung“ – so ihre eigene Schreibweise – monatlich ein Vokalwerk des Thomaskantors auf, und zwar mit großem Aufwand: Zunächst gibt es eine musikalisch-theologische Werkeinführung, die zwar Workshop genannt wird, aber eher ein Vortrag ist. Dann erklingt das jeweilige Stück zum ersten Mal an diesem Abend, worauf eine Betrachtung des barocken Kantatentextes aus heutiger Sicht durch eine Persönlichkeit aus Kultur, Wirtschaft oder Politik folgt. Abschließend wird das Stück ein zweites Mal gesungen und gespielt, damit man es nach der Reflexion anders wahrnehmen kann als zuvor. Dokumentiert wird das Ganze in mehrfacher Form: Einmal auf DVD mit allem Drum und Dran, aber nur einem Werk pro Veröffentlichung; oder auf CD mit mehreren Stücken, aber ohne Einführung und Reflexion. Die Reflexionen kann man wiederum als Buch oder als Download kaufen. Hierüber wie über weitere Details informiert die Website www.bachstiftung.ch. Die Produkte sind entweder direkt bei der Bach-Stiftung oder über den deutschen Versandhandel zu beziehen. Ein ebenso ehrgeiziges wie engagiertes Projekt, das sich über 25 Jahre erstrecken soll und mit der sprichwörtlichen schweizerischen Genauigkeit gestaltet wird. Die Sorgfalt im Detail ist schon beeindruckend, in spiel- und aufnahmetechnischer Hinsicht gibt es nicht das Geringste auszusetzen, die Redaktion der DVDs, CDs und Bücher ist hervorragend, nur die alberne Entscheidung der Werbeagentur, an prominenten Stellen (z. B. Überschriften oder Werktiteln) bewusst gegen die Regeln der Rechtschreibung zu verstoßen, um sich „grafisch vom traditionellen Bach-Markt abzuheben“ (wie es heißt), wirkt reichlich deplatziert. -

Matthew Brook & Peter Seymour Amore traditore Cantatas for bass and harpsichord St Lawrence Church 15 July 2021 1.00 pm _________________ Online Premiere 16 July 2021 1.00 pm Matthew Brook bass-baritone Peter Seymour harpsichord Cantata: ‘Amore traditore’, BWV 203 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Ich habe genug; Schlummert ein, BWV 82 Bach Mädchen, die von harten Sinne, Bach from Kaffeekantate, BWV 211 Cantata: ‘Dalla guerra amorosa’, HWV 102a George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) Pur ritorna a rimirarvi from Agrippina Handel Komm, süsses Kreuz Bach from Matthäus Passion, BWV 244 Vieni, o cara Handel from Rinaldo Sull’arena di barbara scena Handel from Imeneo This programme is taken from the high Baroque of the eighteenth century in Italy and Germany. Handel, although born in Germany, assimilated the latest Italian fashions, especially of opera and the smaller-scale cantata, during his studies in Italy around 1707-09. Whilst Dalla guerra amorosa is only one of many in this form (a sequence alternating recitatives and (often da capo) arias), that by Bach, Amore traditore, is unique as a continuo cantata, written during his employment at Köthen. It may have been an exercise in setting an Italian text (along with BWV 209, Non sa che sia dolore, for soprano, flute and strings), and the text was copied from a setting by Fago which Bach found in the library at Köthen. Whilst Handel travelled to Rome and Venice to study Italian fashions and innovations, Bach experimented either by arranging existing Italian compositions (e.g. by Vivaldi and Albinoni) or with his own original compositions such as here. -

Dr. Murray Forbes Somerville was Gund University Organist and Choirmaster from 1990 to 2003, The Memorial Church at Harvard University. This festive Easter anthem by French composer Joseph Noyon (1888-1962) is the only piece in his extensive oeuvre which survives in common usage.
