Description: The only Passion setting not written for Hamburg, this one was tailored for the specific requirements of the church in Danzig where it was performed: no arias, just an alternation of recitatives and, for Jesus, accompagnatos and ariosos with 34 chorales intended for performance by the congregation. 67 "numbers" and 76 minutes yet Telemann provides much gripping and striking music in the brief "turba" choruses and in his harmonies. German texts. Martin Kleitmann (tenor), Klaus Mertens (bass), Chamber Choir "cantamus" Halle, Male Choir "bouquet vocalis" Halle, Capella Savaria; Pál Németh. 1993 publication date; no previous label mentioned.
