Bach - St John Passion
Few classical works have the urgency and dramatic immediacy of Bach鈥檚 St John Passion.
Leading Bach interpreter Sir Roger Norrington 鈥� celebrating his 80th birthday this year 鈥� directs his Zurich Chamber Orchestra in the St John Passion, a work noted for its dramatic sweep and emotional immediacy in the recounting of events leading to the crucifixion of Christ. It is realised here by a cast led by tenor James Gilchrist, a distinguished Evangelist of his generation.
