Johannes-Passion BWV 245 - The final version, dating from 1747, but Haller substituted 3 rarely heard arias (with some adjoining narrative passages) from the 1725 version: Himmel, reisse Welt for bass and Zerchmettet mich for tenor, for the commonly heard tenor aria Ach, mein Sinn in part I and Ach windet euch nicht so for tenor, for the bass arioso Betrachte, mein Seel and the tenor aria Erwäge, wie sein blutgefürbter Rücken in part II. Haller also interpolated a 5½-min. choral movement, Christe, du Lamm Gottes, after Ruht wohl. The chorale Ach Herr, laß dein lieb Engelein follows after a 23-second pause. |
