J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion
St. Matthäus
In a few years the St. Matthew Passion celebrates its 3rd centenary. The very first performance took place in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig in April 1727. Since then the St. Matthew Passion is an integral part of the passion season. Bach tells the story of the suffering and death of Christ based on the Gospel of Saint Matthew and describes the happenings in his deeply moving and impressive composition.

Robert Schumann/Johannes X. Schachtner: Dichterliebe Op. 48
St. Matthäus
„Oh Clara, what a blessing it is, to write for song, for the voice. This I have long missed“. Thus Robert Schumann in a letter to Clara Wieck in February 1840. Not long after they married, and in this as „Year of Song“ described period appeared not only the song cycle „Dichterliebe“ but also around half of his further song output. The young German conductor and composer Johannes B. Schachtner has arranged these songs for baritone, choir and piano for four hands. The concert also includes newly composed songs for choir, which Johannes B. Schachtner combines with „Dichterliebe“.
