About
A new recording from the Ricercar Consort is always special and this is no exception: here we have from Mirare, a new St John Passion.
Last year’s Bach Magnificat received excellent reviews including Gramophone Editor’s Choice, BBC CD Review disc of the week and a Critics’ Choice in Gramophone.

The great strength of this latest French release lies in the solo voices themselves. The Evangelist of Hans-Jorg Mammel is splendid in its clarity and brisk, no-nonsense delivery of the Passion story...Full marks must also go the the wind players of the Ricercar Consort...while Pierlot's direction gives the whole work a distinct feeling of purpose and shape, relating the Passion story with a pleasing absence of pretension or emotional weight.
