Bach: St John Passion BWV 245

Like many of his works, Bach revised the St. John Passion several times; there is no definitive version from Bach's hand. The revisions concern both the instrumentation and changes in the movement sequence, and not least the addition or supplementation of new parts. The textual basis is the biblical account of the Evangelist John (John 18 and 19) with insertions from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26:75 and 27:51-52). The hymns come from the common repertoire of Bach's time and deviate from their original form in only a few cases. Based on the source material, the (complete) premiere can be dated with sufficient certainty to April 7, 1724.
