The work recorded here is a so-called ‘passion oratorio’, a musical form widely used in the German speaking world in the 18th century built upon a series of lyrical contemplations resting on the story of Christ’s passion. The libretto for Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld was written by Stölzel himself.
After listening to the passion of Stölzel, one can only agree with Lorenz Mizler, founder of the Corresponding Society of the Music Sciences and the author of an obituary for the composer: “Germany has lost a great deal with the loss of this skilful and really great Kapellmeister, and it would be desirable that there should be many Stölzels in this regard. His name is therefore and will always be venerated not only by the Society, but by all true composers.” Although Mizler was wrong in his prophecy, as Stölzel has been forgotten until recently, recordings like the present one might start a real, if belated renaissance of Stölzel. He deserves it.
