"Bach, St. John Passion. Inspiring - no, penetrating down to the last fiber. A powerful, bare dialog, like in a modern novel." (Imre Kertész) For Bach, his "St. John Passion" was a lifelong theme. He revised, expanded or sharpened it again and again. It is a musical masterpiece, sometimes gripping, sometimes lyrically reflective. The opening chorus alone is an event of the highest intensity. And perhaps our present day will also flash before your eyes when the question echoes through the church: "What is truth?" The "St. John Passion" was first heard over 300 years ago - and today it is more topical and urgent than ever.
