Description:

From Abendzeitung Munchen magazine Peter Dijkstra understands the "John Passion" as a drama and makes everything consistent, not only the soloists but also the small roles played by the chorus singers. The contrast between dramatic, exciting moments and quiet, peaceful passages is stunning. The performance with Germany's finest period instrument ensemble, "Concerto Cologne," gives the piece a sumptuous tone. Naxos Japan
