By ANDREW POWELL NUREMBERG \u2014 Tired of paying<\/a> for digitized concert-hall privileges? Here is a sumptuously sung, gloriously gratis (for the moment*) St John Passion<\/em> from this city\u2019s Lutheran Lorenzkirche<\/a>, filmed in June 2015 as part of a drawn-out Bavarian Broadcasting project to mark \u201c500 Years of the Reformation\u201d:<\/p>\n \u2014 Windows<\/a> Maximilian Schmitt<\/a> is the Evangelist. Tareq Nazmi<\/a> sings Jesus. Christina Landshamer<\/a>, Anke Vondung<\/a>, Tilman Lichdi<\/a> and Kre\u0161imir Stra\u017eanac<\/a> make up the SATB quartet for the arias. The BR Chor<\/a> and Concerto K\u00f6ln<\/a> are conducted by Peter Dijkstra<\/a>.<\/p>\n The corresponding Munich performances of Bach\u2019s favorite work, from three months earlier, have merged their way onto an excellent BR Klassik CD set<\/a>, but with Julian Pr\u00e9gardien<\/a> as the Evangelist and Ulrike Malotta<\/a> singing the alto arias.<\/p>\n [*As of May 17, 2017, this remained the case, although in early 2017 the video was issued as a BR Klassik DVD set<\/a> that went on to win the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik<\/em>.]<\/span><\/p>\n Still image from video \u00a9 Bayerischer Rundfunk<\/p>\n Related posts:
