The St. John Passion - Johanna Soller, Patrick Grahl, Konstantin Krimmel, Lore Binon, Tim Me

Bachs Johannespassie remains a story that transcends time and asks different questions to every new generation of audience. Under the leadership of Johanna Soller, artistic director of the Nederlandse Bachvereniging and a name that rings throughout Europe for her delicate interpretations, the work gains a clear, incisive character. Het Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and a select group of international soloists weave a tension arc from vulnerability to release. In this passion story, themes that still resonate today echo: injustice, courage, voice, and silence. Soller exposes the dramatic lines – which are even more direct and powerful than in the St. Matthew Passion – with a masterful command of style and space. An annual tradition that you cannot skip, with one of the most compelling vocal masterpieces ever composed.
