Musica Poetica on internet radio

The Markus Passion by J.S. Bach was uncompleted. There have been many attempts to reconstruct the Passion, which is missing arias, recitativi and chorals.

There have been many completions attempted, with varying degrees of stylistic success.

Jorn Boysen (our director) completed the Passion after extensive research (over 2 years) into Bach's writings about the Passion and also in-depth study of the compositional style of Bach. Perhaps the best compliment that one could give the completion is that it is next to impossible for even a knowledgeable audience to distinguish between the "real" Bach and the modern additions (which are quite substantial!).

Earlier this week, Concertzender (a Dutch internet radio) broadcast the first part of the Passion here. This particular performance in 2016 was done with single strings, winds and a choir of only 8 people (who were also the soloists.).

Please enjoy our live and unedited broadcast with our friends at Cantus Thuringia, part one here and part two here.

Running an ensemble is a rewarding but time consuming job. Chasing after grants and sponsorship is the often overlooked but important aspect of a musician's life.
