Der Tod Jesu of Carl Heinrich Graun (1704–59), completed in 1755, was for decades the musical mainstay of Passiontide services (a position now held by Bach’s and St. John Passions), being performed by the Berlin Singakademie virtually every Good Friday until 1884. Unlike the passions of Bach, Schütz, and other predecessors, Graun’s work does not set any texts of Scripture. Instead, in line with burgeoning Enlightenment sensibilities, the entire libretto by Carl Wilhelm Ramler (1725–98) is written in the exalted style of impassioned poetic declamation common to opera libretti of the era, in supposed imitation of Greek tragedy. At less than half the length of the Bach passions, and musically far less complex, with dignified and attractive arias composed in a style somewhat akin to those of Handel’s Messiah , it remains winsome even today, and its enduring popularity is readily comprehended.
The present recording, made in 1992 and now reissued, makes a strong case for the work. The Capella Savaria, a period-instrument ensemble, and the accompanying chamber choir play and sing ingratiatingly, with buoyancy and a complete absence of any harshness, while the guiding hand of conductor Pál Németh displays a welcome lightness of touch that never rushes the tempi or slights the seriousness of the subject. Of the soloists, while the redoubtable Klaus Mertens is the only household name, all four possess pleasing voices, secure technique, a sure sense of style, and attentiveness to the text. The recorded sound is agreeable, though somewhat echo-laden in the miking of the soloists. A trilingual German-English-Hungarian libretto is provided, and all 25 musical numbers have individual tracks.–James A. Altena
