John Butt conducts Bach's earliest surviving passion. An intense musical drama in which the eternal and mortal collide as the raw, human tragedy of Jesus' death plays out against the backdrop of divine history.
With its powerful crowd scenes and expressive arias, Bach’s St John Passion draws us into the burning heart of the crucifixion story. Bach skillfully manipulates time, making us not simply witnesses to the unfolding events but complicit in them.
At times urgency drives the narrative forward, at others time stretches and distorts. In the final hours of Jesus’ life, time slows almost to stillness, leaving us suspended, as if marooned within eternity itself.
Price: £18 – £66 (Premium £84)
