Ah, my soul, where will you go; where will you find comfort?Bach’s St John Passion is a powerful exploration of what it means to be human – an emotional retelling of Christ’s final hours that speaks as deeply today as it did 300 years ago.
Originally written for Good Friday, and filled with hymns familiar to Bach’s congregation, St John Passion connects with our sense of universal humanity through music which is full of heartbreak, beauty and reflection. Listeners can turn to Bach to make sense of suffering and find solace in a world that can be cruel.
Though the Passion might not have a traditional happy ending, Bach teaches us find peace and understanding through the promise of resurrection, rather than dwelling on the pain Christ endured.
London Mozart Players, Resident Orchestra at Fairfield Halls, perform Bach’s monumental work under the direction of Thomas Allery from the harpsichord.
