Op. 85

Op. 63

Despite many newly-composed interpolations ranging from stylistic copies to modern interpretations performing the Gospel text in Bach’s lost St. Mark Passion continues to present many challenges for performers. With his recitations for narrator gamba and cello Peter Uehling has found a way of maintaining the musical flow while nevertheless preserving the fragmentary character of the work. The reduced musical language of the recitations places so to speak bare walls between Bach’s colorful figured “tonal language”. An important point for performance: despite the free tonal harmony the recitations lead convincingly into the opening notes of the chorales. Thecello part comprises also all the other pieces from the St. Mark Passion Carus 31.247.

Freunde Töne Götterfunken

Korobeiniki is perhaps the best-known Russian folk song in the world. Anyone who played Gameboy in days long past will surely still remember the Tetris melody but perhaps they wouldn’t know that this melody comes from Russia and tells a pretty nocturnal romance which allows some leeway for interpretation … Well – this is Korobeiniki! For this arrangement I was looking for the greatest possible contrast to the Tetris music: a kind of five-part fugue in five verses for five singers: a folk polyphony so to speak which – respectfully but with a twinkle in the eye – turns the contrapuntal art form into an arrangement but at some point degenerates because one singer likes his folksong tune so much that he can’t get enough of it and pushes himself more and more into the foreground … (Ludwig Böhme)
