ÜBER UNS

Mitglieder des Gewandhausorchesters haben sich im Neuen Bachischen Collegium Musicum (NBCM) zusammengefunden, um die barocke Tradition der historischen Collegia, mit denen schon Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig musizierte, mit neuem Leben zu erfüllen. Dabei bedeutet der Ensemblename nicht nur die zeitliche Fortsetzung der Tradition, sondern verdeutlicht auch den Wunsch darzustellen, wie modern, lebendig und zeitlos schön alte Musik erklingen kann. Im Spannungsfeld von unbändiger Musizierfreude, Tradition und historischer Aufführungspraxis bietet das NBCM seinem Publikum einzigartige Konzerterlebnisse und möchte dabei – stets seinem Namen verpflichtet – auch neue Konzertorte und -formen erobern.

Members of the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig have come together in the New Bach Collegium Musicum (NBCM) to breathe new life into the Baroque tradition of the „Collegium Musicum” – an ensemble directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig. „New” in the ensemble’s name reflects not only the continuation of the traditions of Leipzig’s „Collegium Musicum” in the present day, but also an articulation of how modern, contemporary and expressive Baroque music sounds when performed by NBCM. Combining a love of music-making with fresh approaches to tradition and historically informed performance, NBCM brings together tradition and modernity in a way that creates unique and original concert experiences for both lovers of Baroque music and completely new audiences.

Unsere erste CD mit Reinhard Goebel:

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE HISTORIC COLLEGIUM MUSICUM

The Neues Bachisches Collegium Musicum (NBCM) and its artistic director Reinhard Goebel launch a new series with The Leipzig Collegium Musicum Vol. 1: Music before Bach, offering a vivid glimpse into Leipzig’s rich musical life at the beginning of the eighteenth century. At the time, the city was home to numerous Collegia Musica – academic ensembles dedicated to the performance of the latest vocal and instrumental works – which played a central role in shaping its musical culture. Georg Philipp Telemann, Johann Friedrich Fasch, Christoph Graupner and Johann David Heinichen were among the leading figures active within these circles, though much of their repertoire can only be vaguely reconstructed today. Goebel curates a “roughly similar” programme that reflects this pre-Bach world, featuring overtures by Johann Beer and Heinichen, a horn concerto by Georg Melchior Hoffmann (all in world premiere recordings), as well as concertos by Fasch, Graupner and Telemann. The solo parts are performed by recorder player Max Volbers and Clemens Röger, principal horn of the Gewandhausorchester.

In 1729, Johann Sebastian Bach took over Telemann’s Collegium Musicum, which then performed at Zimmermann’s Coffee House and became a cornerstone of Leipzig’s musical life, ultimately leading to the founding of the Großes Concert in 1743 and the Gewandhausorchester. Founded in 1979 by members of the Gewandhausorchester with Max Pommer, the NBCM has since established an international reputation through acclaimed recordings, and since 2021 has been led by Reinhard Goebel, a pioneer of historically informed performance and founder of Musica Antiqua Köln.

Released physically on standard CD and digitally on all platforms.
