Album Notes

After a rich career as musical director in many cities including Leipzig, Frankfurt a/M, Eisenach and finally Hamburg, Telemann bid farewell to the world with a last musical message. Shortly before his death in 1767, at the age of 86, he wrote "The History of Sufferings and Death of Jesus According to St.Mark." This last passion forms not only a synthesis of his own life's work, but also a high point in the long development of "Passionsmusik" in general. Who else deserves this honor? I reconstructed the incomplete work, gathered musicians, performing on original instruments as well as a choir and high profile soloists, for a world premiere in Antwerpen, Belgium. This double CD represents a live recording of this event. Wouter Joseph Smekens

While working at the Telemann-Archive (Zentrüm für Telemann-Plege und –Forschung) in Magdeburg, Smekens decided to investigate Telemann’s unfinished Last Passion.

However, Mr. Smekens was not content to allow it to remain unknown to the world and he decided to finish the Passion himself. "It took me three years to come to a result," wrote Mr. Smekens. "Much was missing and the work was waiting for a believer like me." The work's world premiere was performed by the Capella Aurora in 1996 and the performance is available
