Which passion is the best? To this conductor Jos van Veldhoven answers "I have no answer, but working on the St John, I now know it's by far the best of Bach's Passions." He performed the St John Passion with the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. In this documentary, a number of musicians give their take on the St John Passion and their performance of the work.
For this performance, we selected a cast of singers under the age of 35. Apart from the leaders, all the orchestra members are also younger than 35. The concert series was preceded by a course of auditions and masterclasses.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 11th 2017 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
