Yorkshire Baroque Soloists
JS Bach: St John Passion
Offering a powerful depiction of Christ's passion, the Passio Secundum Johannem may well be JS Bach's most inherently dramatic setting of the story. Urgent, surprising 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. Joined by two outstanding solo interpreters, Yorkshire Baroque Soloists bring this to life with vivid, colourful playing.

James Gilchrist Evangelist
Frederick Long Christus
