About

Gottfried August Homilius, a pupil of Bach, performed his professional musical duties primarily at the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The connections between traditional form and styles have earned Homilius's St. John Passion its special place in the repertoire.
Musically and textually, the events of the Passion presented here displayed a new and exceptional character and shows why Homilius is so highly regarded as a choral composer. Kreuzkantor Roderich Kreile, presents this work of his predecessor in a recording characterized by majestic sound and intensity.
