The St. John Passion by J. S. Bach
Baroque masterpiece in Holy Week
Almost 300 years after its premiere, Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion remains one of the most moving and dramatically impressive works in music history. From the biblical account of the suffering and death of Christ, Bach created an oratorio that shines in Baroque splendor. The solo parts are interpreted by the brilliant singers Miriam Kutrowatz, Christa Ratzenböck, Bernhard Berchtold and Wilfried Zelinka. The Salzburg Philharmonic Chamber Choir performs the impressive choruses and touching chorales.
