There is hidden treasure here. Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1749) has long lain in the shadow of Bach and Telemann, but if there is any justice this recording of his setting of one of the popular passion texts of the early 18th century will go far toward effecting long overdue recognition. Composed in 1725, it follows in the wake of a number of other versions of the poetry of Barthold Heinrich Brockes, most notably that of Handel, whose comparitively second-rate work pales into near insignificance when set beside the power and vivid immediacy of Stölzel's great drama.

Like most European countries Germany came under the influence of Italian music during the 17th century. German composers went to Italy and Italian musicians came to Germany and spread the new style there. And as at the end of the century, the cantata – closely connected to the opera - developed into one of the most prominent genres of vocal music in Italy. German composers started to use the form of the Italian cantata in their church music. In the early 18th century the Italian cantata had reached its more or less definitive form. Among its features were the da-capo aria and the clear differentiation between recitative and aria. In Germany Erdmann Neumeister published libretti for church cantatas which followed this model.

During the more recent past, finds in libraries have made it clear that Johann Sebastian Bach held his Gotha colleague Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel in high regard. But what was it about Stölzel’s music that made Bach and some of his contemporaries so interested in it? As in the text of the famous Brockes-Passion, which was set to music by Telemann and Handel and then later by Stölzel, what is involved here is not a biblical text expanded by arias but a free poetic composition based on the Passion.While the Evangelist, like a live reporter, documents Jesus’s last hours, the “Faithful Soul” and the “Christian Church” act from the perspective of knowledge of how events will turn out. The oratorio is divided into twenty-two “Reflections” concentrating the various perspectives of the three allegorical figures on particular moments in the action. This impressive music beyond doubt will have a very individual effect on each and every hearer – as was also the case with Bach, who some years later once again took the manuscripts from his music library and used the aria of the thirteenth meditation, Dein Kreuz, o Bräutigam meiner Seele, as the basis for his own aria Bekennen will ich seinen Namen (BWV 200).

Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1749) was perhaps the most important discovery of cpo in recent years. That not only a single important work, but a whole composer completely undeservedly fall into oblivion, does not happen so often. And the importance and originality of Stölzel, the very own thing that he brought into the musical language of the 18th century and of which his contemporaries knew very well, can be felt immediately by anyone who hears even a few bars of his music. This is never 08/15 Baroque; Stölzel has his very own place equal to Bach, Handel and Telemann. Our publication of the Brockes Passion made that clear to the public, and last year when the first five cantatas of the Christmas Oratorio came out, this impression deepened. So now the long-awaited cantatas 6-10 that Stölzel wrote in 1736/37 for use on Sundays after Christmas, New Year's Day and Epiphany. Ludger Rémy, to whom Stölzel is an affair of the heart, again directs the Weimar Baroque ensemble and the four soloists Britta Schwarz, Henning Voss, Jan Kobow and Klaus Mertens.

If Graun's oeuvre is an oratorio of one piece, our second discovery, like Bach's Christmas Oratorio, is a Cantatas cycle: We are talking about Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1749), who for the Christmas festival of 1736/37 made a series of ten cantatas for each other wrote a fictional Christmas Oratorio analogous to the cantatas in JS Bach's famous work. However, with the essential difference that Stölzels cantatas do not have the Christmas story in the narrower sense, but therein the Christmas events in artful compilations of dicta, free madrigalic poetry (recitatives and arias) and chorales "considered" and commented.

Christmas Cantatas from the "Engel-Jahrgang" (1748-1749) The three cantatas brought together here are from Telemann’s last printed annual cycle, which was published in Hermsdorf (near Hirschberg), Silesia, in 1749. Each cantata has a title page indicating the particular Sunday, registering the ensemble parts under it, and displaying a decorative figure modeled on a putto as an ornament on the lower half of the page. Since the putto was also understood as an angel, the cycle came to be known as the "Engel-Jahrgang" (Angel cycle). In addition, the title contains a pithy motto that seems to be referring to Telemann: "You glorify the sweet harmony of the art of music and sanctify it".As in his other annual cycles issued in printed form, the compositions were presented in Hamburg churches prior to their publication or along with it. These are joyful works of dancy verve to which Telemann supplied additional splendor in many movements through the use of trumpets.

Der Gothaer Kapellmeister Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1749) gehört zu den deutschen Barockkomponisten, denen trotz ihres Könnens und unbestrittenen musikhistorischen Bedeutung aus unerfindlichen Gründen eine Renaissance bislang verwehrt geblieben ist. Womöglich bedarf es hier einfach nur einer diskografischen Initialzündung, welche diese Einspielung mit György Vashegyi, dem Purcell Choir und seinem Orfeo Orchestra sein könnte. Das 1731 komponierte Passionsoratorium Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld auf ein selbstverfasstes Libretto fand immerhin 1734 auch die Wertschätzung Bachs, der es am Karfreitag in der Thomaskirche aufführte.
