About this concert
Johann Sebastiani
"Matthäuspassion"
Agostino Steffani
"Stabat Mater"
Dem hohen Feiertag ("Karfreitag") entsprechend, ist im Rahmen der Reihe "Alte Musik bei Kerzenschein" die Leidensgeschichte Christi zu erleben. Und was für ein Erlebnis! Denn die "Matthäuspassion" von Johann Sebastiani aus dem Jahr 1663 ist ein frühes, staunenswertes Meisterwerk. Ohne allzu opernhafte Geste entwickelt diese Komposition in rezitativisch-arioser Knappheit, durchflochten von Luther-Chorälen, einen überwältigenden Sog. Als stimmige Fortsetzung auf den Tod Jesu folgt mit Agostino Steffanis ebenso kontemplativem wie ausdrucksstarkem "Stabat Mater" (1728) eine berührende Klage um den Gekreuzigten. Zwei besondere Werke also, die auch eine besondere Darbietung erfahren: durch das auf die Musik dieser Zeit spezialisierte Ensemble Vox Luminis, geleitet von ihrem Gründer Lionel Meunier.
