Bach revised his Johannes-Passion regularly: he returned to it over a period of twenty-six years, from 1724 to his death. It is the version hallowed by tradition, established by the Kantor a year before his death, that is presented on these CDs. But the 1725 version, equally outstanding musically, has also been recorded complete and can be downloaded as a bonus in high-resolution sound. Comparison of the two versions reveals the underlying meaning of this matchless Passion.

Some have likened Herbert von Karajan's "chamber-music approach" to Wagner's Ring cycle in terms of his scaling down or deconstructing the heroic roles. This approach has less to do with dynamics per se than it does with von Karajan's masterful balancing of voices and instruments. He achieves revelations of horizontal clarity, allowing no contrapuntal strand to emerge with an unwanted accent or a miscalibrated dynamic. The texts are unusually pinpointed and distinct, although the singers don't convey the experience and dimension of Sir Georg Solti's cast on London. There are exceptions.

Das schicksalhafte Leben der schottischen Königin Maria Stuart (1542-1587) hat zahlreiche Werke der Literatur, Musik und Bildenden Kunst inspiriert. Ihr Leben eignet sich wegen der Fülle spektakulärer Ereignisse und des blutigen Endes ideal als Tragödien- und Opernstoff. Schillers Maria Stuart oder Donizettis Maria Stuarda sind dabei nur die bekanntesten Beispiele. Die Dichtungen zu ihrem Schicksal wurden im 19. Jahrhundert von vielen Komponisten zu Liedern vertont. Franziska Hirzel (Sopran) und Tobias Schabenberger (Blüthner-Flügel 1874) stellen hier einige bekannte und wenig bekannte Beispiele zu Maria Stuart aus dem 19. Jahrhundert vor.

Die gute Nachricht: HUBERT KAH hat eine neue CD veröffentlicht! Die schlechte Nachricht: HUBERT KAH hat eine neue CD veröffentlicht! Eine gute Nachricht ist diese Meldung sicher für all die Musikhörer, die sich gern auf Metamorphosen einlassen und es gut finden, wenn sich Künstler weiterentwickeln. Eine schlechte Nachricht ist das hingegen für die, die noch heute den guten alten 80ern hinterher trauern und von Kemmler verlangen, so zu klingen, wie vor 30 Jahren. Mit "Rockart", wie das neue Album heißt, hat sich Hubert Kah nämlich komplett von dem verabschiedet, was er so zwischen 1984 und 1989 gemacht hat. Was auf dem Album zu hören ist, könnte wie eine Rückkehr zu den Wurzeln gesehen werden. Auf dem eben schon erwähnten ersten Album von 1982 tummeln sich auch allerlei skurrile Nummern, die schon damals keine Chance in den Charts gehabt hätten. Und das ist auf "Rockart" wieder der Fall. Das muss man mögen oder hat ein Problem.

In many ways this is a special recording. It features first-desks from the Chicago Sym. playing two of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, and so far beyond the average Baroque ensemble are they that one yearns for the other four. Just to hear the amazing trumpet solos in Concerto no. 2 by the legendary Adolph Herseth repays the cost of the CD. But we also get James Levine doing double duty at the harpsichord in Concerto no. 5. One deficit from the rise of period performance is that non-specialists have been driven out. The days when an all-around musician like Levine or Leonard Bernstein performed Bach and Handel are more or less over, and their replacements, to be tactful, are not on such an exalted level of talent….
