Programme Note
The St John Passion is the most personal and meditative of Bach’s Passion settings, telling the Easter story in music of simple beauty and power. Christ’s final days are dramatized with real intimacy, centred on the Evangelist who narrates the story in the words of the gospel.
Exultate Singers is joined by an outstanding line up of soloists, together with a specialist baroque orchestra from the Bristol Ensemble for this performance, which will be sung in German.
