Weckmann and his Roots – Concerti & Sonaten places the Hamburg Jakobiorganist Matthias Weckmann (1616–1674) at the center – shaped by his teacher Heinrich Schütz. Even as a choirboy at the Dresden court, Weckmann learned that musical rhetoric in which music becomes “speaking sound”: closely tied to the text, expressive, and of great dramatic power.

The Weckmann Consort, together with David Erler (Alto), Georg Poplutz (Tenor), and Mattias Lutze (Bass), dedicates itself to the rarely performed sacred concerti and the virtuosic sonatas of Weckmann. Special attention is paid to the works in ATB scoring without soprano – including “Wo wollen wir einkehren – Dialogo von Tobia und Raguel,” “Herr, wenn ich nur dich habe,” and “Zion spricht”: a warm-toned, sonorous-rich sound world of extraordinary intensity.

The vocal works are richly complemented by Weckmann's ten sonatas from 1663 for sackbut, violin, trombone, dulzian, and organ. In this colorful historical instrumentation, a sound language as bold as it is brilliant unfolds – and on historical organs, Weckmann’s musical roots become directly audible.
