Free Music Notes for Bach: St. John Passion / Gardiner, The English Baroque Soloists

Free Music Review: transcendent
Hit: 5 Stars

This is probably the greatest recording of the St. John Passion I have ever heard, and I have heard quite a few. The strings aren't screechy (as another review claimed); it's the timbre of the period instruments, and Gardiner uses their stridency to great effect, evoking a sense of urgency and consternation that would not be possible with modern stringed instruments. The oboes have a similar quality (and when they are combined with the strings in the first chorale it sounds almost like someone wailing in despair).

I love this recording. The soloists are beyond reproach, and the voicings are perfectly blended almost everywhere so the counterpoint is utterly clear. Most importantly, however, the tremendous depth of this music is not lost despite the intellectual rigor that Gardiner brings to the music.

Much of "historically informed" performance, unfortunately, sounds academic, dry, and purely intellectual; while the performer often has an impressive cerebral understanding of the piece and its historical context, he or she is not able to transcend the intellect and get to the heart of the music. Gardiner can and does with this recording.
