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.
‘A glowing culmination to another outstanding Hyperion project’ (The Independent) ‘New standards of excellence … stunning’ (Gramophone) ‘Highest honours must go to the outstanding 140-voice chorus who sing with earth-shattering conviction, utmost clarity of diction and enviable precision of ensemble and intonation … the combined strengths of this Hyperion version guarantee prime recommendation’ (BBC Music Magazine)
