St. John Passion Main Performer or Conductor: Philippe Herreweghe Accompaniment/Orchestra: Orchestre de la Chapelle Royale Soloists: Barbara Schlick - Soprano Catherine Patriasz - Alto William Kendall - Tenor Peter Kooy - Basse Howard Crook - Tenor Instrumentation: Choir Orchestra Voice Individual Works: St.John Passion, BWV 245 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Harmonia Mundi France Catalog Number: HMC 901264.65 Year Released/Recorded: 1988 Total Playing Time: 55'27/59'16 Comments: Vassili Isakov said: Fantastic performance with fifteen persons chorus and authentic instruments. This recording is the one of masterpieces from Ph.Herreweghe made in the same time with St.Matthew Passion (HMC 1155.57). It clearly reflects Herreweghe's approach to keep "vocality" of Baroque music. Highly recommended.
