Title: A Beautiful, Moving Performance
Review: Most of us are less familiar with the St. John Passion than the St. Matthew Passion. I certainly was and, frankly, bought this recording because of its budget price. It is a good deal because not only do you get the Passion but also Cantata BWV 140. Honestly, I find that I like this Passion more than the St. Matthew. It is ravishing music and this performance is first rate. I only wish I'd spent the money on a newer release with better, cleaner, crisper sound, esp. for all the gorgeous music for chorus.
