On Good Friday, Laurence Cummings and the Academy of Ancient Music bring all their insight and commitment to the rarely heard 1725 version of J S Bach’s St John Passion. 

‘Crush me, you rocks and hills; heaven, hurl your bolts at me!’ J S Bach’s setting of the Passion according to St John is one of the supreme masterpieces of sacred music, but it’s also an intensely human story – a drama of turmoil and betrayal, suffering and redemption, that never loses its urgency. It’s a Good Friday tradition wherever western music is performed.

This year, as Laurence Cummings takes up the musical direction of the Academy of Ancient Music, he brings a strikingly personal perspective to this towering work. He’s using Bach’s less familiar 1725 version – in which Bach subtly adjusts his focus from heaven to Earth, from the Divine to the all-too-human, without losing any of the majesty and searing emotional power of this timeless spiritual drama. Music to refresh the spirit, performed with heart and soul.
