On this CD Jorg Halubek and his Ensemble “Il Gusto Barocco” attempt a reconstruction of three of Bach’s organ concertos that today are primarily treated as harpsichord concertos. How thrilling must it have sounded when Johann Sebastian Bach at the organ engaged in a contest of virtuosity with an entire orchestra. The present recording offers a tangible and imaginative impression of it.

The story of Venus and Adonis, self-evidently a love story, advanced to the status of a popular opera subject during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The youth Adonis is so ravishingly beautiful that even the goddess of love falls in love with him. But then Adonis dies while hunting, and Venus has a flower blossom from his blood: the Adonis flower. A good ten years ago the renowned musicologist Samantha Owens presented the sensational reconstruction of the Stuttgart Baroque opera Adonis (1699). Its composer, Johann Sigismund Kusser (1660-1727), was regarded as an international musician personality during his lifetime. After six years of study with Jean-Baptiste Lully in Versailles, he was drawn to the courts of important opera centers such as Braunschweig, Hamburg, London, and Dublin. From 1699 to 1704 this native of Preßburg (today: Bratislava) was the Stuttgart opera director and court chapel master under Duke Eberhardt Ludwig; here he had compositions by Steffani, Keiser, and Cesti as well as his own works performed.

The highlight of this year’s season is the concert performance of Handel’s opera “Poro, Re dell’indie” in a German/Italian version by Georg Philipp Telemann. Some of Handel’s Italian operas were so popular that a year later they were performed not only in England, but all over Europe – for example, under Telemann at the Gänsemarkt Opera. So that his Hamburg audience could understand the turbulent history of Alexander the Great and his entanglements with the Indian royal couple Cleofida and Poro, Telemann translated the plot-driving recitatives into German and composed them anew, Handel’s arias remained original and in Italian. “CLEOFIDA – Queen of India” was a box office hit in Hamburg at the beginning of the 18th century.

With the major project “Bach Organ Landscapes” and the recording of all of Johann Sebastian Bach’s organ works, the German conductor, harpsichordist and organist Jörg Halubek invites you on a comprehensive journey to historical organ builders who shaped Johann Sebastian Bach. “The further you look back into music history, the more regional developments can be discovered,” says the artist. “These connections between instrument and organ work characterize the so-called organ landscapes”. The third and fourth albums of the ten-part series are about ‘Hamburg’ and ‘Lüneburg & Altenbruch’.

For this album Jörg Halubek selected selected Bach’s “Third Part of the Keyboard Exercise” – one of the rare collections of organ music that Bach set in print in his own lifetime (1739). The collection captivates him with its visionary compositional approach and a refreshingly pragmatic approach to printed layout that can still be appreciated today (cf. Gregory Butler, 1990). The compositional vision of the Clavierübung is linked for Halubek with the visionary element of Trost’s organ aesthetic. Bach thought highly of him – and will have appreciated his experiments with tone colours. As ever, a nobly dignified plenum forms the central pillar of the organ sound. Both mixtures contain thirds, resulting in combination with the softened middle register in a certain sharpness of sound, but also the clear, eloquent transparency of polyphonic works. The spatial acoustic has very little reverberation even in an empty church and is very clear. Apart from the plenum, the organ specification is mainly characterized by a wealth of eight-foot and four-foot stops: there are six 8′ flue stops and three 4′ flues in the Hauptwerk alone, among them a tremulant. The fine nuances in these sensitive timbres are an invitation to interpreters to experiment and to hear with new ears.

Introducing Il Gusto Barocco’s latest album, a revolutionary approach to Baroque music. Each ensemble member is given a platform to showcase their talents as a soloist, choosing their own program and interpreting the selected works uniquely. Director Jörg Halubek believes in the concept of “extended chamber music,” where players must always think and perform as soloists while still valuing the importance of ensemble playing. The members of Il Gusto Barocco all studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, which has led to a shared aesthetic background. The ensemble’s goal is to bring the music to life and not impose their own personal listening habits on the audience. Flautist Claire Genewein performs Johann Sebastian Bach’s Flute Partita in A minor on the album, playing it without bass accompaniment, as Bach most likely intended. This recording offers a unique interpretation, especially regarding playing speeds, that sets it apart from others. Il Gusto Barocco’s latest album is a must- listen for fans of Baroque music looking for a fresh take on the genre.

Il Gusto Barocco approaches Johann Sebastian Bach’s suites and concertos from a contemporary and at the same time historically informed perspective. On their new album “Suite & Concertos”, Jörg Halubek and the early music specialists of Il Gusto Barocco take a look at Bach’s activities in the Zimmermann coffee house in Leipzig. They are not reconstructing an actual programme, but testing how the spirit of the musical gatherings in the circle of family, relatives and students can be transferred to our modern times. “We want to take a more modern look at Bach, who today is mainly seen as a strict church composer. For us, it’s about the communicative side turned towards people,” says ensemble leader and harpsichordist Jörg Halubek.

The Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1046–1051, original title: Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments) are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt, in 1721 (though probably composed earlier). They are widely regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era.

Two rising stars in today’s firmament of Baroque music performance, Leila Schayegh and Jörg Halubek, join forces to record one of the major challenges in their joint repertory: the six Bach Violin Sonatas, BWV 1014-1019. The collection’s title, Sei Suonate à Cembalo certato è Violino Solo, reflects the close partnership demanded of the violin and harpsichord players, with Bach moving away from the idea of continuo support for a solo instrument and constantly making new technical demands on the musicians and thereby approaching the concept of the triosonata. Completed by around 1725, most of these richlycharacterful works combine the slow-fast-slowfast sequence of movements found in Italian works and a cantabile tone with elements of German contrapuntal style.
