Ensemble Resonanz & Guests: Weihnachts-Oratorium, BWV 248 Bach,JS

There are many ways of celebrating Christmas. Ensemble Resonanz comes up with a musical ceremony based on a chamber version of the most popular work of the Advent season, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. The score remains untouched, regarding the instrumentation there are new aspects: an electric guitar or a hammond organ as continuo instruments, just one trumpet doing the job of three and the whole ensemble singing the chorals. True ‚Hausmusik’ of the 21st century.

Why would an ensemble that made its name performing rarities from early and contemporary music then turn to the most successful oratorio of the Baroque? Ensemble Resonanz would presumably answer, »Christmas without the Christmas Oratorio is only half the story. As often as you may have heard or played the piece, you still want to hear or play it again.«

The ensemble has been performing its own version of Bach’s Christmas classic for five years now – pared down and with unconventional instrumentation, a little like a concert at home for friends. The concert hall becomes a sitting room, the musicians become a choir, and the work becomes chamber music with Baroque violas, electric guitar and vintage keyboards.

English

Warum widmet sich ein Ensemble, das sich vor allem mit Raritäten alter und allerneuster Musik einen Namen gemacht hat, ausgerechnet dem erfolgreichsten Oratorium des Barock? Die Antwort des Ensemble Resonanz fiele vermutlich aus: »Weil Weihnachten ohne Weihnachtsoratorium nur die halbe Wahrheit ist. So oft man das Werk auch gehört und gespielt haben mag: Man will es immer wieder hören und immer wieder spielen.«

Seit mittlerweile fünf Jahren spielen die Musiker nun ihre eigene Fassung von Bachs Weihnachtsklassiker – abgespeckt, eigenwillig instrumentiert, quasi als Hausmusik unter Freunden. Der Konzertsaal wird zum Wohnzimmer, die Musiker zum Chor, das Werk zur Kammermusik mit Barockbratschen, E-Gitarre und Vintage Keyboards.

Allen Liebhabern des Weihnachtsoratoriums, bei denen diese Idee eher Skepsis auslöst als Neugier, sei von der Süddeutschen Zeitung versichert, »dass diese Version hinreißend rockt, dass da Basspassagen drin sind, die man so immer wieder hören will und dass der Trompeter immer wieder die Sterne zum Funkeln bringt. Am Ende wird sich dann jeder Weihnachtsmuffel auf Weihnachten freuen.«
