OAE Leader Margaret Faultless talks about how and why St John Passion continues to be relevant to us today. She describes the context in which Bach wrote his masterpiece and ponders what Bach might think of our interpretation today.

This video was made during the break of our recording of Bach's St John Passion. The Passion is not simply a beautiful piece of music, but a reflection on suffering and an attempt to make sense of it. Since our lives have been disrupted by the pandemic, the Passion now speaks to us from a fresh understanding of suffering and ignites in us a personal sense of compassion and empathy. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Marquee TV presents a new filmed realisation of this monumental production recorded in Battersea Arts Centre, with an all-star cast including Mark Padmore as Evangelist and Gerald Finley as Christus.

Padmore appears in the St John Passion with soprano Lucy Crowe, mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy, tenor Hugo Hymas and bass Georg Nigl.

The word ‘passion’ is rooted in the Latin word for suffering, and tonight's concert is a meditation on suffering and an attempt to make some sense of it.
