Johannes-Passion BWV 245 [140:51]
Further elements of both authenticity and intimacy were added by inserting other music used in the Leipzig Good Friday service that J.S. Bach himself would have heard and by inviting the audience to sing the responsory portions of the chorales that bookend the Passion. |
