Soloists,Stuttgarter Hymnus-Chorknaben,handel's Company - J. S. Bach: St. John Passion BWV 245

Johann Sebastian Bach revised his St. John Passion several times. Which one to choose? Rainer Johannes Homburg selected the last version for this performance with his Hymnus Choirboys of Stuttgart and Handel's Company. Why? It combines the carefree expressivity of Bach's initial years at St.Thomas, eliminating unnecessary second thoughts from his middle years, with an experienced and mature master's instrumental tonal sophistication � which Homburg fully exploits.The richly coloured continuo group, here even including a contrabassoon, makes us sit up and listen. Get ready for an enthralling listening experience and vibrant performance by this prizewinning traditional choir!
