- Kommt, ihr Toechter, helft mir klagen
- Da Jesus diese Rede vollendet hatte
- Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen
- Da versammleten sich die Hohenpriester / Ja nicht auf das fest / Da nun Jesus war zu Bethanien / Wozu dienet dieser Unrat / Da das Jesus merkete
- Du lieber Heiland du
- Buss und Reu
- Da ging hin der Zwoelfen einer
- Blute nur, du liebes Herz
- Aber am ersten Tage der suessen Brot / Wo willst du, dass wir dir bereiten / Er sprach: Gebet ihn in die Stadt / Un sie wurden sehr betrubt / Herr, bin ich's
- Ich bin's, ich sollte buessen
- Er antwortete und sprach:
- Wiewohl mein Herz in Traenen schwimmt
- Ich willdir mein Herze schenken
- Und da sie den Lobgesang gesprochen hatten
- Erkenne mich, mein Hueter
- Petrus aber antwortete
- Ich will hier bei dir stehen
- Da kam Jesus mit ihnen zu einem Hofe
- O Schmerz! hier zittert das gequaelte Herz
- Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen
- Und ging hin ein wenig
- Der Heiland faellt vor seinem Vater nieder
- Gerne will ich mich bequemen
- Und er kam zu seinen Juengern
- Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh' allzeit
- Und er kam und fand sie aber schlafend
- So ist mein Jesus nun gefangen / Sind Blitze, sind Donner in Wolken verschwunden
- Und siehe, einer aus denen
- O Mensch, bewein' dein Suende gross
- Ach! nun ist mein Jesus hin
- Die aber Jesum gegriffen hatten
- Mir hat die Welt trueglich gericht't
- Und wiewold viel falsche Zeugen herzutraten
- Mein Jesus schweigt zu falschen Luegen stille
- Geduld, Geduld!
- Und der Hohepriester antwortete / Er ist des Todes schuldig / Da speieten sie aus in sein Angesicht / Weissage uns, Christe
- Wer hat dich so geschlagen
- Petrus aber sass draussen im Palast / Wahrlich, du bist auch einer von denen
- Erbarme dich
- Bin ich gleich von dir gewichen
- Das Morgens aber heilten alle Hohenpriester / Was gehet uns das an / Und er warf die Silberlinge in den Tempel
- Gebt mir meinen Jesum wieder
- Sie heilten aber einen Rat
- Befiehl du deine Wege
- Auf das Fest aber hatte der Landpfleger / Lass in kreuzigen!
- Wie wunderbarlich ist doch diese Strafe
- Der Landpfleger sagte
- Er hat uns allen wohlgetan
- Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben
- Sie schrieen aber noch mehr / Lass in kreuzigen! / Da aber Pilatus sahe / Sein Blut komme uber uns / Da gab er ihnen Barrabam los
- Erbarm es Gott
- Koennen Traenen meiner Wangen
- Da nahmen Kriegsknechte / Gegruesset seist du, Judenkoenig / Und speieten ihn an
- O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden
- Und da sie ihn verspottet hatten
- Ja! freilich will in uns das Fleisch und Blut
- Komm, suesses Kreuz
- Und da sie an die Staette kamen / Der du den Tempel Gottes zerbrichst / Desgleichen auch die Hohenpreister / Andern hat er geholfen / Desgleichen schmaeheten ihn
- Ach, Golgatha, unsel'ges Golgatha
- Sehet Jesus hat die hand
- Und von der sechsten Stunde / Der rufet dem Elias / Und bald lief einer unter ihnen / Halt, lass sehen / Aber Jesus schriee abermals laut
- Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden
- Und siehe da, der Vorhang im Tempel zerriss / Wahrlich, dieser ist Gottes Sohn gewesen / Und es waren viel Weiber da
- Am Abend da es kuehle war
- Mache dich, mein Herze, rein
- Und Joseph nahm den Leib / Herr, wir haben gedacht / Pilatus sprach zu ihnen
- Nun ist der Herr zu Ruh gebracht
- Wir setzen uns mit Traenen nieder
Free Music Notes for Bach: Matthaus-Passion (St Matthew Passion) BWV 244 /Bostridge * Selig * Rubens * Scholl * Gura * Henschel * Collegium Vocale * Herreweghe (+CD-Rom)
Free Music Review: Wonderful recording...CD-ROM too old for Macs
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a musicologist and former choral conductor, and I think this is an absolutely wonderful interpretation by all involved (I find Scholl's countertenor to be a bit harsh, but that's a small point.) I like the forcefulness of the back-and-forth between the two choirs in the first chorus..."Behold! Who? The Bridegroom." It has great rhetorical power, which is an important aspect of the chorus, exhorting the congregation to witness the Passion events.
MAC USERS BEWARE: this was produced back in '99, in the days of OS 9.
The CD-ROM won't work on Macs running OS X.
Macs just evolve too quickly I guess! ;o)
Bach: Matthaus-Passion (St Matthew Passion) BWV 244 /Bostridge * Selig * Rubens * Scholl * Gura * Henschel * Collegium Vocale * Herreweghe (+CD-Rom) Poster
The St. Matthew Passion, Bach's monumental retelling of the story of the Last Supper and the arrest and execution of Jesus, typically runs from two-and-a-half to three hours. Yet this performance makes the time... well, not exactly fly past (consider the subject matter), but it's not tedious for even a second. Much of the credit for this goes to the marvelous Evangelist, Ian Bostridge. He's an outstanding narrator: the clear tone and diction, skillful timing, and intense involvement with words that made him a famous lieder singer are all in evidence; his part consists of nothing but recitative, yet he holds your interest unfailingly. Franz-Josef Selig gives a more dramatic reading of Jesus than you usually hear these days--he may be a bit too "operatic" for some listeners, but he really communicates his character's very human anguish and sorrow. Similarly, soprano Sibylla Rubens, tenor Werner G?ra, and bass Dietrich Henschel sometimes unleash a bit too much vibrato for some tastes, but their singing is full-throated and attractive and they're very sensitive to the nuances in the text and music. Superstar countertenor Andreas Scholl is the standout--he combines unearthly purity with very earthly feeling and blends beautifully with the baroque instruments. The real stars of the record, however, are Philippe Herreweghe and his remarkable choir and orchestra. This conductor and his musicians (especially his radiant choir, Collegium Vocale) have always been superb at conveying warmth, devotion, and contemplation, but intense joy, anguish, or anger have sometimes seemed beyond them. Not here: they cover the full emotional range of this work--from reverent reflection to anguished remorse to churning fury--without ever crossing the line into melodrama or sacrificing clarity.On top of all this, you get a CD-ROM chock full of interesting and well-organized information (in English, German, and French): texts as well as an overview with a timeline of Bach's life, a discussion of how the work is put together, marvelous graphics, sound clips, and an extensive interview with Herreweghe himself. A superb accompaniment to a superb release. --Matthew Westphal
