Bach: St. John Passion

I am not going to say anything about the St. John Passion - there are reams written about it already by better brains than mine. All I will say is that yesterday evening (March 5th) in the City Hall, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, the National Chamber Choir of Ireland and soloists put on a sublime performance with an edge of theatricality. Superb musicians, superb music...it was glorious, simply glorious. Irish Chamber Orchestra & National Chamber Choir of Ireland with guests, Sylvia O'Brian (Soprano), Robin Tritschler (Tenor) - Evangelist, Mark Wilde (Tenor), Benjamin Bevan (Baritone), Grant Doyle - Christus & James Laing (Counter Tenor). Conductor, Stephen Layton.
