Bach: St. John Passion(2014)
Bach: St. John Passion Synopsis
Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon Rattle was one of the outstanding events of the past season. As before with the St Matthew Passion, star director Peter Sellars succeeded in creating a staging which made the spiritual and dramatic content of the Passion story even more intensive. The New York Times also praised the “brilliant and energetic” playing of the orchestra, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the “haunting, almost unsurpassable singing of all those involved.”
Bach: St. John Passion (2014) is a film directed by Peter Sellars, released on March 22, 2014 with a runtime of 3h 7m. It stars Camilla Tilling, Magdalena Kožená, Topi Lehtipuu and Mark Padmore.
