About this product
After their recent releases of Conti's Missa Sancti Pauli and Rameau's Les Indes galantes, conductor György Vashegyi and his Orfeo Orchestra and Purcell Choir present a world premiere recording of a passion by a today virtually unknown composer, Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. The name of Stölzel does not ring a bell even with the keenest lovers of Baroque music, even though he was a significant figure in the musical life of Germany in the first half of the 18th century; he was held in highest respect even by Johann Sebastian Bach himself, just to name the greatest authority of all, as documents of the time show. The work recorded here is a so-called Inchpassion oratorioInch, a musical form widely used in the German-speaking world in the 18th century built upon a series of lyrical contemplations resting on the story of Christ's passion. The libretto for Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld was written by Stölzel hiself, and features a succession of recitatives, arias and chorales sung by the InchEvangelistInch, the InchFaithful SoulsInch and the InchChristian ChurchInch. The work, premiered in Gotha 1720 and recorded here in the 1731 version, had such a great impact that it got performed in other German cities, including Leipzig on Good Friday of 1734 (where the church community did not relive Christ's passion through Bach's music but through Stölzel's oratorio).

Gregor Joseph Werner (1693-1766) was Kapellmeister at the Eszterházy court in Eisenstadt, and on his death he was succeeded by Joseph Haydn. A surviving manuscript score of his oratorio InchDer gute HirtInch (The Good Shepherd) is preserved in the music collection of the National Library of Hungary in Budapest. Werner's oratorio is a InchsepolcroInch oratorio originating from the Viennese court tradition. This particular musical-dramatic form of the Holy Week oratorio performed around the holy sepulcher of Catholic churches, became fashionable throughout the Habsburg empire during the last third of the 17th century. This genre, a staged musical performance presenting the burial of Jesus Christ, was a part of church music practice in Central Europe as late as the 1730s. On 28 March 1739, the Good Friday service held in the Palace Chapel in Eisenstadt was centered around a musical drama setting of Gregor Werner's own text based on the Parable of the Good Shepherd in the Gospel of Luke, thereby commemorating Jesus Christ's death on the cross at Golgotha. The single lost sheep is the symbol of man who, having revolted and lost his secure place in Paradise, can be guided back to the path of salvation only through the sacrifice of the all-forgiving Good Shepherd/Jesus, the Father's only son, who will never leave him.
