Certainly! But do you not also find it much bolder, more powerful, and more poetic than that of the Evangelist Matthew? How concise, utterly brilliant, especially in the choruses, and what artistry! If only the world could come to clarity about such matters!" – Robert Schumann (1849) Kathleen Danke | Soprano Anne-Beke Sontag | Alto Matthias Schubotz | Tenor Luciano Lodi | Bass Fabian Kuhnen | Bass (Words of Christ) Wernigerode Cantata Choir Telemann Collegium Michaelstein Conductor: Cantor Anne Engel
