Info for Handel, Brockes-Passion



Barthold Heinrich Brockes wrote a libretto on the Passion of Christ – based on the account in Matthew’s Gospel – which was set to music by many composers of his time, including Reinhard Keiser, Georg Philip Telemann and George Frideric Handel. It is Handel’s version of the latter that the period-instrument ensemble Arcangelo has chosen to present here. Under the direction of Jonathan Cohen, these specialists in the Baroque repertory are joined by the voices of Sandrine Piau, whose numerous Handel recordings are regarded as a benchmark, the tenor Stuart Jackson and the baritone Konstantin Krimmel, recently revealed in a debut recital for Alpha (Saga, ALPHA549). Together they resurrect the operatic splendour of a work that was first performed in 1719 and is thought to have influenced numerous passages of J. S. Bach’s St John Passion, written a few years later.

"After Handel’s Brockes Passion was only rediscovered a good 50 years ago, it has developed into a popular work. The booklet of the latest recording by the Ensemble Arcangelo under Jonathan Cohen provides the overview of the movements and the text as well as some introductory words. Details on questions of interpretation or scoring do not burden the interested listener.

In this respect, the listener can concentrate entirely on the music. And the result is worthy of all honour. For example, at the beginning of the soliloquy dedicated to Jesus, in ‘Father! Look how I agonise’, this agony is effectively portrayed in the singing as well as in the orchestral sound. In general, Cohen succeeds with the orchestra in modelling an equally lively and fluid performance that never relaxes at any moment and thus holds the work together. Among the vocal soloists, Sandrine Piau stands out in prominence. She shows herself to be an outstanding singer. For example, in Tochter Zion on the second CD, track 15, she creates the ‘Look, Soul, Look’ with such poignant curiosity that it immediately captivates listeners. But this is only one example of many. Unfortunately, on the other hand, one must note that her articulation of the German language is not at this level.

The two male soloists, both still young artists, are the tenor Stuart Jackson as the Evangelist and the baritone Konstantin Krimmel as Jesus. Many pleasing points come together here, so that both present their roles convincingly both vocally and interpretatively. Both already winners of competitions, they are on their way and, as far as the baritone is concerned, have already attracted positive attention.

The soloists in and out of the choir in their smaller passages are in no way inferior to the big names. As already mentioned, they offer clear and understandable pronunciation, both individually and as a group, although they are not native speakers. But even their roles are fully and lovingly created and not dismissed as supporting roles. Since there are no weaknesses in the technical realisation either, it was just as worthwhile for the participants to deal with the extensive composition as it is for the listener." (pizzicato.lu)
