Guest performance
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
In January 2023, the audience in the Elbphilharmonie responded to the performance of Bach’s St John Passion with the Gaechinger Cantorey with minutes of cheering. »There was a lot to celebrate«, commented Marcus Stäbler for the Hamburger Abendblatt at the time, citing the »eye for the big picture«, the »dense arc of tension«, the »sense of context« and the »flair for detail« in Hans-Christoph Rademann’s interpretation. Now the long-established ensemble of the International Bach Academy Stuttgart is returning to the Elbe with the St Matthew Passion. The monumental oratorio with nine soloists, two choirs and a double orchestra immerses the audience in a deeply spiritual, moving and poetic experience. Bach’s depiction of Jesus’ last hours offers a journey through the human soul in the spirit of the Protestant tradition of the time. He masterfully brings the sacred text to life with vivid harmonies and exquisite interplay between soloists and choirs. With a hand-picked choir, a first-class baroque orchestra and outstanding soloists, Hans-Christoph Rademann presents a renewed and faithful version of this highlight of vocal music of all time.
Every year, for more than a century, we have been performing one of Bach’s most popular works: the St Matthew Passion. This year, the prominent German conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann is leading our ensemble.Bach’s masterly music keeps moving us“Betrayal, condemnation and death, but above all – love. Although the words of the St Matthew Passion are age-old, the story and the message are still relevant today. And every year, Bach’s masterly music moves us once again. Bach’s masterpiece is in good hands with Rademann. In every St Matthew Passion he performs, this real Bach man – founder of the Dresdner Kammerchor, artistic director of the Bachakademie Stuttgart and regular name at the international music festival Bachfest – seeks out a new contemporary approach, always keeping a careful eye on the monumental character of the work. For decades, he has been one of the most successful choral conductors in Germany. Plenty of reason, therefore, to invite Rademann as the guest conductor for our traditional Passion concerts.
