Bach, Johann Sebastian : Markus Passion BWV 247

Welcome comebackBach’s St John and St. Matthew Passions are popular and well established in concert life. Of a third, the Markus Passion, only Picander’s original Libretto is extant. Parallel arias from various cantatas replace the lacking music for arias, and instead of the lost recitative and the turba [crowd] choruses, the spoken gospel Text is bilingually published in this edition (in German/English) . The freshly-prepared performance material including a detailed commentary is supplemented by a newly-arranged piano reduction.
