When Leopold von Anhalt-Köthen died in 1728, his former Kapellmeister had not forgotten his five glorious years in the service of the prince. Johann Sebastian Bach dedicated a funeral cantata to his memory, based almost exclusively on two major works from this period: the Trauerode and the St. Matthew Passion. The score has been lost, but the libretto and other sources have now made it possible to bring the work back to life and so Raphael Pichon takes us on an exciting musical search for clues in his first recording for harmonia mundi.
