Description:
The most dramatic and enigmatic second draft of Bach's "John Passion"! What happened to Bach in 1725? Master of Choral Music Peter Neumann's masterpiece is back on SACD hybrid disc! Bach's masterpiece John Passion, in which the chorus plays an active part, has been revised and revised up to four versions, but the second version on this disc stands out in its own unique way. According to Masaaki Suzuki, a distinguished scholar, in his clear explanation: "This is the first Passion that Bach wrote in Leipzig, and the last Passion that he performed in his lifetime after two subsequent recitals. He must have been very attached to it. However, one big mystery perplexes us: after premiering the John Passion on his Passion Day in 1724, Bach performed it again the following year in 1725, but this time with a major change for some reason. The opening chorus was replaced by the magnificent choral fantasy "O man, lament the greatness of thy sins" that was later used to end the first part of the Matthew Passion, and immediately after Jesus is struck by the soldiers, there is an intense bass solo, (and) accompanied by a strange balance of earth-shaking continuo and soprano chorale, and the aloof sounding traverso Accompanied by the aria, "Rip, O heavens, and tremble, O earth," which cries out, "Rip, O heavens, and tremble, O earth!The tenor was also given two new long arias, and the closing chorale was changed to the chorale "Christ, thou Lamb of God" from the closing cantata No. 23. The parts of the first performance were carefully used until the end of his life, but all changes in the second draft were discarded in the (subsequent) reperformances and never given a second thought. What was Bach thinking when he created this second draft? Why was the most dramatic and most technical bass and tenor aria in all of Bach's works never performed again? What happened during the Passion Week of 1725? The Cologium Cultusianum and the Cologne Chamber Choir, led by Peter Neumann (85), a German master who is well known for his recordings of Mozart's complete masses for EMI, have made a beautiful recording of the Cologne Mass in a monastery, and this SACD hybrid disc is a welcome return. This Preziosa Series is a series of SACD recordings selected by the producer himself from MDG's past masterpieces. MDG
