Bach: St John Passion, BWV245 - Pierlot, Ricercar Consort

A new recording from the Ricercar Consort is always special and this is no exception: here we have from Mirare, a new St John Passion.

Last year’s Bach Magnificat received excellent reviews including Gramophone Editor’s Choice, BBC CD Review disc of the week and a Critics’ Choice in Gramophone.

Clive's review:

"The St John Passion comes first. A new recording from the Ricercar Consort is always special and this is no exception. Last year’s Bach Magnificat received excellent reviews including Gramophone Editor’s Choice, BBC CD Review disc of the week and a Critics’ Choice in Gramophone. In my opinion it should have won the Early Music choral award and if you listen to the new St John you will see why. This is a dramatic account with stunning choral singing, exemplary soloists and an exceptionally detailed representation of Bach’s highly original and inventive orchestral textures. As an added bonus, this is released at $34.99 – ie two CDs for the price of one"
