Programme Note
The Passion according to St John has at its heart a very human drama - of turmoil and betrayal, suffering and redemption. In one of the supreme masterpieces of sacred music, Bach draws you in to that story with writing that is evocative, stirring, exultant and profoundly moving.
(Sung in German)
