When Philippe Herreweghe takes on a Bach work, the attribute "exemplary" is usually not far away. The Belgian conductor has been working with these works for decades, and his interpretations, which were initially praised above all for their perfect balance, have become increasingly lively, natural and dramatic – without losing the beauty of sound they had in the beginning. Now he is performing the "St John Passion" with his Collegium Vocale Gent. Among the soloists are Krešimir Stražanac and Dorothee Mields, who provided particularly moving moments on his last recording of the work.
