Bach: Passionen - Chormusik

With his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Ton Koopman recorded all three of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passions – after St John, St Matthew, and lesser-known St Mark, whose score has been largely lost but who has been reconstructed from excerpts of various cantatas. This album focuses on the choruses and chorales, sung by the Amsterdam Baroque Choir and the Choir of the Dutch Bach Association, with the help of the boys’ chorus from the Sacrament Choir of Breda. A compilation of arias, still by Ton Koopman, will be released on Good Friday, March 29th.
