Description:
The St. Mark Passion, which was probably composed in the first decade of the 18th century by an unknown composer called "Kaiser", has only survived in various copies. It occupies a prominent place in Bach's music library, as it is the only foreign Passion music that Bach performed several times - each time in a different form. For the young Bach in Weimar, this St. Mark Passion was a lesson in learning the modern art of recitative narration, but he also performed it as Leipzig's Thomaskantor as early as 1726. This edition reconstructs the third version, premiered in Leipzig around 1747, in which Bach inserted seven arias from Handel's famous Brockes Passion. Only in this pasticcio was there a direct encounter between him and his famous compatriot in London, which Bach longed for as a personal meeting but which never materialized.
