Bach: St John Passion

James Gilchrist Evangelist,
Frederick Long Christus,
with Yorkshire Baroque Soloists

​

Offering a powerful depiction of Christ’s passion, the Passio Secundum Johannem may well be Bach’s most inherently dramatic setting of the story. Urgent, dramatic, and beautiful, Bach’s masterpiece is celebrated as much for its moments of joy as for its depictions of suffering. As a complete work, it stands as a vivid musical celebration of human feeling, evoking the joy and sorrow of our pilgrimage on earth. The Yorkshire Baroque Soloists will bring this to life with vivid, colourful playing, joind by outstanding solo interpreters for the roles of Evangelist and Christus.
