Info for Mendelssohn & Bach: Matthäus-Passion

Fast 74 Jahre lang, vom Tod J.S. Bachs im Jahr 1750 bis zu Mendelssohns 15. Geburtstag im Jahr 1824, war die Matthäus-Passion so gut wie verschwunden. Das kostbare Geburtstagsgeschenk des jungen Mendelssohn - eine speziell angefertigte Kopie der Passion - sollte die Musikgeschichte verändern, als er fünf Jahre später die erste Aufführung im 19. Jahrhundert in Berlin veranstaltete.

Heute ist Bach aus der Musik nicht mehr wegzudenken, doch in den 1820er Jahren war seine Musik nur noch Gegenstand von Übungsbüchern für Kontrapunktstudenten. Nach 1829 griff Mendelssohn häufig auf Bachs Musik zurück und führte die Passion 1841 in Leipzig erneut auf- im Zeitalter der Romantik, mit einem symphonischen Orchester und Chor, gestaltete er sowohl die Rolle des Evangelisten als auch die Solisten neu und verkürzte die Passion um etwa 30 Prozent.

Nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1847 lag Mendelssohns "Ausgabe" der Passion bei seinen Erben in London auf Eis; sein Enkel vermachte sie schließlich der Bodleian Library in Oxford. Die erste vollständige Rekonstruktion von Mendelssohns Material durch Malcolm Bruno und Caroline Ritchie erschien im Dezember 2023 im Bärenreiter Verlag, nun folgt die erste Einspielung durch den Bach Choir of Bethlehem.

Bach Choir of Bethlehem
Bach Festival Orchestra
Christopher Jackson, direction




The Bach Choir of Bethlehem
gave the first complete American performances of Bach’s Mass in B Minor in 1900 and Christmas Oratorio in 1901. Since its founding in 1898, the now-famous Choir has been attracting thousands of visitors from across the United States and beyond to the annual Bethlehem Bach Festival in Pennsylvania.

In 2022, Dr. Christopher Jackson became the seventh Artistic Director and Conductor of the Choir. The 90 dedicated volunteer singers of The Bach Choir of Bethlehem, performing with the Bach Festival Orchestra and distinguished soloists, have received international acclaim. Programming includes 40 concerts and educational programs per year for an audience of more than 22,000. Venues have included the Herkulessaal at Munich’s Royal Residence and the Thomaskirche, Bach’s church in Leipzig, as part of the 1995 Germany tour; The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall as part of The Choir’s Centennial Celebration in 1998–2000; the BBC Proms in London’s Royal Albert Hall as part of an eight-concert tour of the United Kingdom in 2003; and Severance Hall, Cleveland, for the 75th anniversary of the Baldwin Wallace Bach Festival in 2007. In September 2011, The Bach Choir represented the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in a 10th anniversary musical observance of 9/11 in New York City, giving concerts in Saint Paul’s Chapel and Trinity Church, Wall Street. In 2013, The Choir performed Mendelssohn’s Elijah at Strathmore in the Washington, D.C., area, and in 2014, the new opera Young Meister Bach for the 250th anniversary of the German Society of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The Choir has released 11 recordings on the Dorian and Analekta labels, including most recently Bach’s Cantata 21 and Handel’s Ode for Saint Cecilia’s Day (2018), A Child’s Christmas in Bethlehem (2013), and Saint John Passion (2012). The Choir has been featured on National Public Radio’s Performance Today and Prairie Home Companion, Deutsche Radio, the BBC World Service, CBS Sunday Morning, and the Emmy award-winning PBS documentary on The Choir, Make a Joyful Noise. It has been recognized for its outstanding educational outreach programs (Bach at Noon, Bach to School, and interdisciplinary Family Concerts) by annual awards from the National Endowment for the Arts (2011–2020). The J.S. Bach Foundation in Switzerland named The Bach Choir of Bethlehem as the first American recipient of its annual award to a single Bach organization, recognizing The Bach Choir’s outstanding work in Bach performance and education for young people (2012). Mr. Bach Comes to Call, a film based on the acclaimed Classical Kids CD, was co-produced by The Bach Choir of Bethlehem and is distributed internationally by the Children’s Group. Our affiliated Bel Canto Youth Chorus is currently celebrating its 30th year under the direction of founder Dr. Joy Hirokawa. Both organizations are looking to increase their impact in training the next generation of choral singers.

The Mission of The Bach Choir of Bethlehem and its Bach Festival Orchestra is to perform the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and to promote and encourage appreciation of the aesthetic and spiritual value of Bach’s music, while striving for the highest standards of musical excellence. We achieve this mission by engaging our audience – locally, nationally, and internationally – through education and performance, including works by composers who influenced Bach and were influenced by him, and through the programs of our Bel Canto Youth Chorus. Together, we cultivate a lifelong passion for the choral arts.
