Bach. St John Passion

演出简介

Bach's St. John Passion has achieved iconic status in the history of art and humankind because it remains as moving, vital and convincing as it was more than 250 years ago. (Tom Hall)

A Passion soon forgotten completely, until Mendelssohn's spectacular revival performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829. Then the St. John Passion again became a subject of general interest. Bach used Luther's translation of the Bible with only slight modifications.

Enjoy all that is good and possible in arts: the universal themes of redemption and salvation in a imaginative and riveting way.
