The Purcell Quartet (Catherine Mackintosh, Catherine Weiss - violin | Richard Boothby - bass viol | Robert Woolley - harpsichord)
In the late seventeenth century Hamburg was the most cosmopolitan city in Germany. It was one of the first cities outside Italy to have public concertos and an opera house. Johann Adam Reincken, organist at the Katharinenkirche from 1663, exemplified Hamburg’s sophisticated, proud culture. Reincken presided over a colossal organ, a symbol of civic wealth. His improvisations at Vespers were admired by visiting merchants and gave Hamburg’s music the same international reputation as its trade. And Reincken’s lifestyle and vanity were legendary. An obituary of Reincken by Johann Mattheson, a later Hamburg musician, salaciously described his love of wine and women, noting that Reincken’s will did not forget the ‘unknown ladies in his house at his death’.
Reincken was renowned as an improviser and, perhaps because he jealously guarded his art, he committed little keyboard music to paper. Instead the main item in Reincken’s surviving output is Hortus musicus, his 1687 set of six partitas for two violins, viola da gamba and continuo. Like many publications of German chamber music during this period Hortus musicus stresses its suitability for church of domestic use.
Over twenty years after Hortus musicus was published Johann Sebastian Bach made keyboard arrangements of the A minor partita, the first half of the C major sonata and the fugue from the B flat partita. Bach spent some of his teenage years at Lüneburg and travelled from there to hear Reincken in Hamburg.
When Bach was at the peak if his compositional and performing power he again met Reincken. In 1720 Bach visited the Katharinenkirche, registering his candidacy for the post as organist at the nearby Jacobkirche and probably also assessing his chances of succeeding the 97-year-old Reincken. Faced with Bach’s audacity in trying to better his achievements, Reincken for once set aside his vanity, declaring: ‘I thought that this art was dead, but I see it lives on in you’. (chandos.net)
