Beware, lovers of Bach's St.John Passion. If you know and expect to hear the famous first chorus with its relentless E-pedal, full of brooding expectation, don't buy this recording. It presents a later, 1725 version in which, amongst other things, this chorus has been replaced. I would love to be able to write and say that Herreweghe and his superb team of artists had once again achieved a winner but, on finding out that it was a different version to the one I wanted to hear, I moved on.
