Immerse yourself in the profound and sacred music of Johann Sebastian Bach with his monumental work, the "St. John Passion" (BWV 245). Composed in 1724, this masterpiece is a profound and moving portrayal of the Passion of Christ, as recounted in the Gospel of John. The album, released on Naxos in 2003, spans an impressive 1 hour and 50 minutes, offering a deeply spiritual and musically rich experience.
The "St. John Passion" is a choral work of extraordinary depth and complexity, featuring arias, chorales, and recitatives that weave together to create a powerful narrative. The album includes 41 tracks, each meticulously performed, showcasing Bach's unparalleled ability to convey both the human and divine aspects of the Passion story. The work is divided into two parts, each offering a distinct yet cohesive exploration of the events leading up to and including the crucifixion of Jesus.
Bach's genius lies in his ability to blend the sacred and the secular, the personal and the universal. The "St. John Passion" is no exception, as it invites listeners to reflect on the themes of suffering, redemption, and faith. The vocal score, edited in a new English version by Neil Jenkins, allows for a broader audience to appreciate the beauty and profundity of Bach's composition.
This recording features a stellar cast of performers, including tenor James Gilchrist as the Evangelist and Matthew as Jesus, among others. Their performances bring Bach's music to life with a sense of reverence and passion that is both moving and inspiring.
