About

“The finest Composition of Musick that ever was heard” – this was only one of the enthusiastic press reviews written after the world premiere of Handel’s Messiah. Handel’s oratorios were, overall, already very popular during his lifetime and were frequently performed. Since 2009, Carus has been issuing a CD series with Handel’s oratorios as well as select vocal works, operas and instrumental compositions. This box contains 13 CDs,comprising of several large-scale oratorios which includes, in addition to “The Messiah,” and “Alexander’s Feast,” “Israel in Egypt,” “Brockes-Passion,” “Solomon” as well as the relatively unknown gem “L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato.” The artists on this CD collection include the Kölner Kammerchor under Peter Neumann, Kammerchor Stuttgart under Frieder Bernius, Vocalensemble Rastatt under Holger Speck and Winchester Cathedral Choir under Nicolas McGegan.

Handel: Brockes Passion HWV 48
Work length2:32:29
Sinfonia
Track length2:44
Kommet, ihr verworfnen Sünder
Track length3:21
Als Jesus nun zu Tische saß
Track length0:34
Das ist mein Leib: kommt, nehmet, esset
Track length1:02
Der Gott, dem alle Himmelskreise
Track length2:03
Und bald hernach nahm er den Kelch
Track length1:20
Gott selbst, der Brunnquell alles Guten
Track length2:06
Ach, wie hungert mein Gemüte
Track length2:05
Drauf sagten sie dem Höchsten Dank
Track length0:34
Wir wollen alle eh' erblassen
Track length1:32
Es ist gewiß
Track length0:08
Weil ich den Hirten schlagen werde
Track length1:13
Zum wenigsten will ich
Track length1:05
Mein Vater, mein Vater! Schau wie ich mich quäle
Track length1:33
Mich drückt der Sünden Zentnerlast
Track length0:54
Ist's möglich, ist's möglich, daß dein Zorn sich stille
Track length1:34
Sünder, schaut mit Furcht und Zagen
Track length1:33
Die Pein vermehrte sich
Track length1:04
Brich, mein Herz, zerfließ in Tränen
Track length5:26
Ein Engel aber kam
Track length0:31
Erwachet doch!
Track length1:51
Und eh' die Rede noch geendigt war
Track length0:11
Greift zu, schlagt tot
Track length1:00
Und der Verräter
Track length0:21
Er soll uns nicht entlaufen
Track length0:25
Nimm, Rabbi, diesen Kuß von mir
Track length0:15
Gift und Glut
Track length1:39
Steck nur das Schwert an seinen Ort
Track length1:21
O weh, sie binden ihn mit Strick und Ketten
Track length0:42
Wo flieht ihr hin?
Track length0:38
Nehmt mich mit, verzagte Scharen
Track length4:21
Und Jesus ward
Track length1:17
Was Bärentatzen, Löwenklauen trotz ihrer Wut sich nicht getrauen
Track length3:12
Dies sah Petrus an
Track length1:13
Ich will versinken und vergehn
Track length0:44
Drauf krähete der Hahn
Track length1:26
Heul, du Fluch
Track length2:42
Doch wie, soll ich verzweiflend untergeht?
Track length0:30
Schau, ich fall' in strenger Buße
Track length2:32
Ach, Gott und Herr
Track length1:14
Als Jesus nun zu Tische saß
Track length1:17
Erwäg, ergrimmte Natternbrut
Track length4:12
Die Nacht war kaum vorbei
Track length1:17
Meine Laster sind die Stricke
Track length2:19
O, was hab' ich verfluchter Mensch getan!
Track length0:34
Laßt diese Tat nicht ungerochen
Track length2:04
Unsäglich ist mein Schmerz
Track length1:05
Die ihr Gottes Gnad' versäumet
Track length1:58
Wie nun Pilatus Jesum fragt
Track length0:18
Bestrafe diesen Übeltäter
Track length0:37
Sprichst du denn auf dies Verklagen
Track length2:18
Pilatus wunderte sich sehr
Track length1:20
Wie er nun sah
Track length0:13
Besinne dich, Pilatus
Track length1:49
Drauf zerreten die Kriegsknecht ihn hinein
Track length0:25
Ich seh' an einen Stein gebunden
Track length1:26
Drum, Seele, schau
Track length2:06
Dem Himmel gleicht sein buntgefärbter Rücken
Track length3:29
Wie nun das Blut in Strömen von ihm rann
Track length0:27
Die Rosen krönen sonst der rauhen Dornen Spitzen
Track length2:01
Verwegner Dorn, grausame Spitzen
Track length1:01
Laß doch diese herbe Schmerzen
Track length3:25
Die zarten Schläfen
Track length0:49
Jesu!Jesu, dich mit unsern Seelen zu vermählen
Track length2:03
Drauf beugten sie aus Spoot vor ihm die Knie
Track length0:58
Ja, scheueten sich nicht
Track length1:49
Worauf sie mit dem Rohr
Track length0:10
Bestürzter Sünder, nimm in acht
Track length1:03
Heil der Welt
Track length3:47
Wie man ihm nun genug
Track length0:30
Eilt, ihr angefochten Seelen - Wohin? wohin?
Track length2:03
Ach Gott, ach Gott!
Track length1:23
Soll mein Kind, mein Leben sterben
Track length2:19
Und er trug selbst sein Kreuz
Track length0:46
Es scheint, da den gequälten Rücken
Track length1:56
Wie sie nun and die Stätte
Track length0:24
Hier erstarrt mein Herz und Blut
Track length1:17
O Anblick, o entsetzliches Gesicht
Track length1:27
O Menschenkind
Track length0:49
Sobald er nun gekreuzigt war
Track length0:59
Und eine dichte Finsternis
Track length0:22
Was Wunder, daß der Sonnen Pracht
Track length2:31
Dies war zu neunten Stund
Track length1:16
Mein Heiland, mein Heiland, Herr und Fürst!
Track length1:57
Drauf lief ein Kriegsknecht hin
Track length0:33
O Donnerwort! O schrecklich Schreien!
Track length4:00
O selig, wer dies glaubt
Track length0:34
Sind meiner Seelen tiefe Wunden
Track length3:12
O Großmut!
Track length0:24
Brich, brüllender Abgrund
Track length3:05
Ja, ja, es brüllet schon in unterird'schen Grüften
Track length1:22
Wie kommt's, daß da der Himmel weint
Track length1:57
Bei Jesus' Tod und Leiden
Track length1:40
Mein' Sünd' mich werden kränken sehr
Track length1:11
Wisch ab der Tränen scharfe Lauge
Track length6:40
Ich bin ein Glied an deinem Leib
