Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Wie viele Strophen hat “Stille Nacht”? – Drei sind es, drei Strophen hat das weltberuhmte Weihnachtslied des Hilfspriesters Joseph Mohr und des Lehrers und Organisten Franz Gruber. Wirklich? Nein! Sechs Strophen hat “Stille Nacht”. Nur passen drei davon leider nicht in das ubliche Klischee vom”holden Knaben im lockigen Haar”, deshalb sind sie aus Liederbuchern und Gesangsaufnahmen vollig verschwunden. In den vergessenen Strophen erweist sich, dass der Hilfspriester Mohr ein Kind der Aufklarung war. Im Text umschliesst Jesus als Bruder die Volker der Welt und der “Herr, vom Grimme befreit”, verheisst “aller Welt Schonung”. Diese und andere textliche wie musikalische Uberraschungen prasentiert das Athesinus Consort aus Berlin unter der Leitung des mit zahlreichen Preisen ausgezeichneten Klaus-Martin Bresgott auf der CD “O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf”. Populare Weihnachtslieder verschlankt und von unsachgemasser Uberzuckerung befreit, klar und frisch, kunstlerisch hochwertig prasentiert. Ein Horgenuss fur alle, die sich an abgenudelter Billigware das Ohr verdorben haben.
