2. Bach’s St. John Passion

Deeply moving and powerful: Bach puts his immense genius to a musical retelling of the events leading up to Christ’s crucifixion. Like Handel’s Messiah, a full compliment of singers and four soloists add dramatic weight and emotional power to what is a deeply moving work threaded with themes of sacrifice, redemption, and hope.
