About

Although Homilius was the long time choir master of the Kreuzkirche, due to its destruction, the primary center where he performed this function was at the Frauenkirche in Dresden. With sensitive arias, unusual orchestral sounds and expressive turba choruses Homilius translated the traditional Passion into his time. Fritz Näf and the Ensemble Basler Madrigalisten recorded with his St. Mark Passion a piece that was considered by connoisseurs, like the Prussian Princess Anna Amalia, a particularly successful example of modern church music.

Awards and reviews

July/August 2013

the Basler Madrigalisten performs them with grace, precision and energy despite being, at least in Early Music terms, quite a large choir...Hans Jorg Mammel is a very experienced Bach singers and he does a fine job here as the Evangelist - sounding more polished and suave, in fact, than I have heard him for some time...I will return to this recording with pleasure.

The Basler Madrigalisten are a vocal ensemble of twenty voices and sing the turbae in a fitting dramatic fashion. The chorales are often a weak spot in recordings of works like this, but not here. Words and phrases are effectively singled out...This recording shows why Homilius was considered the greatest German composer of sacred music in his time. It is a worthy addition to the repertoire for Passiontide.
