Foundational work of the sacred repertoire, Johann Sebastian Bach's Passion According to Saint John BWV 245 strikes with its theatrical force, dramatic urgency, and profound humanity. It retraces the final hours of Christ through an alternation of narratives, meditative arias, and choruses of exceptional expressive power. At the head of the ensemble a nocte temporis, Reinoud Van Mechelen, tenor and music director, offers an embodied and luminous reading of this monumental score. Surrounded by a choir and an orchestra on period instruments, he prioritizes the clarity of the discourse, dramatic tension, and the intimacy of the word.
