Pasión de Markus: Los Sebastianes y Chatham Baroque
Nueva York, Corpus Christi Church
Sobre el espectáculo
Disfrute de la música clásica como nunca antes en esta asombrosa interpretación de obras maestras de Johann Sebastian Bach en la extraordinaria iglesia del Corpus Christi de Nueva York.
J. S. Bach escribió la Pasión para los evangelios de Marcos, Mateo y Juan, dos de las obras artísticas más importantes de todos los tiempos. Poco después de la muerte de Bach en 1750, su hijo C.P.E. entregó en mano a su editor, Johann Breitkopf, el manuscrito de la Pasión de Marcos, que se perdió.
La nueva edición de la Pasión de Marcos realizada por el musicólogo Malcolm Bruno es una ingeniosa reconstrucción basada en material de otras obras de Bach. Con cuatro cantantes, 14 instrumentistas y un papel único para un actor como Evangelista.
Esta primera versión escenificada viaja al Reino Unido y a la costa oeste, no sin antes ofrecer el estreno mundial compartido en Pittsburgh (11 de abril), y luego el Domingo de Ramos en MB1800 en un hito para la música antigua. Con el emblemático actor Joseph Marcell (Royal Shakespeare Company, The Fresh Prince of Bel‐Air).

Johann Sebastian Bach
The name Bach and the word musician had long been synonyms in Germany as the world saw 56 musicians from this kin. But it was Johann Sebastian Bach, a genius composer and virtuoso organ player, who shed lustre on his family name. He was born on th 31st of March 1685 in Eisenach, a small town in Thuringia. At the age of 10 he became an orphan and was brought up by his elder brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist in a neighbouring town. His brother was the one to teach music to the young Johann Sebastian. Later he moved to Luneburg where he attended a church school and mastered the techniques of playing violin, viola, piano and organ by the age of 17. Besides that, Bach was a choir singer and later after his voice broke he became a chanter’s assistant. In 1703 Bach was hired as a court musician in the chapel of Duke Johann Ernst III. He earned such a good reputation there that he was later invited to Arnstadt to be an organist at the New Church, where he wrote his best organ works. In 1723 he moved to Leipzig to be a chantor at St. Thomas Church where he stayed until his death of a stroke in 1750. In the year of his death he had undergone unsuccessful eye surgery which lead him to lose his eyesight. During that strenuous time his second wife Anna Magdalena helped him to write his last musical pieces. Bach’s artistic legacy is vast. He created compositions in all genres of the time: oratorias, cantatas, masses, motets, music for organ, piano and violin.
