The St. Mark Passion belongs to the lesser known treasures among the sacred opus of Johann Sebastian Bach. Thus, the present recording made in the Frauenkirche Dresden is all the more spectacular, since it is performed in the reconstructed version of 1731 published by Carus. The actor Dominique Horwitz recites the text of the Evangelist, alternating with the arias and chorales presented with impressive intonation and exciting drama by the Leipzig vocal ensemble amarcord and the Kölner Akademie under the direction of Michael Alexander Willens.
