Bach's 'St John Passion' with Blazíková, Engeltjes, Lichdi and Mertens from Granada

Granada International Music and Dance Festival. Bach's 'St John Passion' is a sacred oratorio. The original Latin title 'Passio secundum Johannem' translates to 'The Suffering According to John' and is rendered in English also as St. John Passion and in German as Johannespassion. During the first winter that Bach was responsible for church music at the St. Thomas Church and the St. Nicholas Church in Leipzig, he composed the St John Passion for the Good Friday Vespers service of 1724.
