About

The multifaceted richness of Theile’s compositional artistry is especially reflected in his St. Matthew Passion published in Lübeck in 1673. In it, elements of the traditional church style are combined with progressive techniques of dramatic narration and meditative reflection in song. In their subtle emotionality, expressed both in the leading of the voice parts and in the design of the instrumental ritornellos, the arias and canzonettas invite listeners to engage in personal, highly emotional contemplation of the Biblical events, very much in the spirit of the Pietistic currents that were taking shape. While most listeners will be familiar with the accompaniment of the words of Christ by stringed instruments from the passions of JJ.S Bach, the accompaniment of the Evangelist’s narrative with gambas in Theile’s Passion produces an entirely new, different effect.

Reviews

July 2020

I loved everything about this recording, from the eloquent, sinuous score to the range of instrumental colour – alternating poignant delicacy with surprising power – and committed performances from singers whose voices satisfyingly combine warmth with purity.

March/April 2021

Theile has woven together a tapestry where the musical cloth is not quite monochrome, but instead has a certain static quality, which allows the text both to be supported and appear clearly, no matter which characters are speaking. It is contemplative mood music, appropriate to the season. Manfred Cordes and the Weser-Renaissance have done a fine job with this recording.
