Johann Sebastian Bach: St. John Passion, BWV 245 The NDR Vocal Ensemble and Concerto Köln

Johann Sebastian Bach’s *St. John Passion* recounts the trial and death of Jesus through striking musical scenes. The Evangelist guides the narrative, which unfolds through arias, chorales, choral sections, and solo passages. Sequences of great dramatic intensity alternate with calm, meditative passages, highlighting the full complexity of these events.
