St Thomas’s Church, LeipzigBach: St John Passion, BWV 245 (first version, 1724) Elisabeth Breuer (soprano)Jakub Jósef Orliński (countertenor)Daniel Johannsen (tenor)Benjamin Appl (bass: Christus)Tomáš Král (bass: arias)Thomanerchor LeipzigLeipzig Gewandhaus OrchestraAndreas Reize (conductor) At Good Friday Vespers, 1724, in St Nicholas’s Church, Leipzig, the city’s new Thomaskantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, led the first performance of his St John Passion. Three hundred years later, on Good Friday, Bach’s masterwork will return to the same church, performed by the latest incarnation of the composer’s own choir and an orchestra closely related, conducted by the twelfth successor to Bach as Kantor, Andreas Reize. I attended not that performance, but one the previous evening of Maundy Thursday, at the more customary St Thomas’s; it is close enough, I think, to count, without troubling ourselves with complications of lunar versus solar calendars. (For what little it may be worth, the Gregorian calendar had been in use there for […]

New Year's Day falls at the end of August in Utrecht! We gather, we drink, we kiss, we wish each other well at the opening concert of the Festival of Early Music, now in its 33rd year. Literally a generation of early music lovers have now descended yearly on Utrecht, an elegant, historic and stately university city just down the tracks a bit from the bustling and obvious tourist destination, Amsterdam.Last evening's concert was especially celebratory as it was held in the festival's birthplace, architect Herman Hertzberger's famed concert hall, recently reopened after a gruelling eight years of city planners scratching their heads, renovators juggling building codes and politicians searching for auxiliary funding. And just like Alice when she tumbled down the hole, we walked back into the future through glass doors that separate the new TivoliVredenburg concert complex from the old large hall itself, carefully closed and preserved from […]
