Conductor: György Vashegyi Featuring István Kovács – bass, László Kálmán – tenor Mária Zádori – soprano, Péter Bárány – counter-tenor, Raimund Nolte – bass Concertmaster: Simon Standage J. S. Bach: John Passion, BWV 245, (1724, first version) “The Purcell Choir celebrated its 20th anniversary in Spring 2010: we have assembled a jubilee oratorio subscription series in which the Purcell Choir and the Orfeo Orchestra play works by Johann Sebastian Bach. We think of the three concerts as r...epresenting an arc, thus with performances of Bach’s works for Christmas, the New Year, Feast of the Epiphany, Good Friday, Easter, Assumption and the Pentecost, we illuminate the key moments of the Lutheran year. The second concert of our series features the first version of Bach’s John Passion: this is rarely heard in Hungary and we present it as Bach did originally in Leipzig in 1724.” György Vashegyi
