Where it came from
The Philips recording of J.S. Bach's St. John Passion (BWV 245), catalog number 6747 490, represents a significant mid-20th-century interpretation of the work. Conducted by Eugen Jochum and released during the label's period of high-fidelity refinement, this recording captures the Concertgebouworkest and the Groot Omroepkoor in an era defined by a blend of traditional European orchestral weight and burgeoning musicological interest in Bach's structural complexity.
The album features a distinguished cast of vocalists including Ernst Haefliger as the Evangelist and Walter Berry as Christus. The production was intended to showcase a balanced, nuanced approach to the dramatic narrative of the Passion, moving away from the gargantuan choral arrangements common in early 20th-century Bach performances toward a more focused, yet emotionally resonant, operatic clarity that Jochum was celebrated for bringing to sacred music.
