description
His career began as a celebrated child prodigy and ended with his death from complete exhaustion and overwork at the age of 43. By then he had become court maestro di capella in Rudolstadt, where his employers were so enamoured of him »that they no longer wished to hear anything which was not from his pen«. Georg Gebel was unquestionably an artist of genius. Only his tragic and untimely death, combined with his negligent care of his compositions and the resultant »dispersal« of his oeuvre, conspired to keep him unknown or forgotten outside his close circles. It was not until 2003, when cpo revived his St. John Passion, that music lovers were again able to admire his distinctive and novel voice, with its »unparalleled« harmonies and »modernist« melodies, and to savour his intricately wrought counterpoint. Now you can admire both on this premiere recording of his large-scale Christmas Cantatas of 1747.
