Programme

Telemann - Brockes-Passion


Telemanns Brockes-Passion

"May my pen moisten itself with tears, that it may provoke such wetness to others." Telemann wrote these words in the foreword to his impressive 'Brockes-Passion'. Whether that happened to the first listeners in 1716, we do not know. However, Telemann's 'Brockes-Passion' still makes a deep impression on the listeners. Just the serene Sinfonia with which this passion begins will undoubtedly give you goose bumps. But then, the earth trembles and shakes, Mary cries, the apostles don't know what to do... The lyricist Brockes places you in the middle of the agony. Telemann adds an extra dimension with his poignant music.


Thomas Oltheten about what he thinks is characteristic of the ensemble:
"The intensity of the interplay. We play without a conductor, which makes you very dependent on each other at a concert. This creates an enormous artistic dynamic. It's also very exciting. Especially when you're playing with soloists, like Telemann's Brockes-Passion."
(Read the interview with Thomas Oltheten.)

Apollo Ensemble

The Apollo Ensemble is an international company whose musicians come from all over the world. Artistic leader is the originally Ukrainian violinist David Rabinovich, who has more than earned his international spurs and has been a prominent member of Ton Koopmans Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra for seventeen years. The Apollo Ensemble is gripped by the miracle that ancient music can sound like new again and again. What is more beautiful and rewarding than sharing this fascination with the public? Come listen to the Apollo Ensemble!

Georg Philipp Telemann wrote no less than forty passions and seven passion oratorios. The most impressive of these is undoubtedly his 'Brockes-Passion'. Telemann needed an eight-part choir, soloists, and orchestra to add to the drama of the Passion of Jesus. A performance you don't get in the cold clothes. Last season the Apollo Ensemble already made a big impression with Handel's 'Brockes-Passion'. Now listen to Telemann's masterpiece! *PLEASE NOTE: This concert starts at 7:30 pm and ends around 10:30 pm, including an interval. *
