Performance NotesIn the first of two Proms appearances, leading Bach interpreter Sir Roger Norrington – celebrating his 80th birthday this year – directs his Zurich Chamber Orchestra in the St John Passion (bookended later this season by Peter Sellars's staging of the St Matthew Passion, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle) – a work noted for its dramatic sweep and emotional immediacy in the recounting of events leading to the crucifixion of Christ.

It is realised here by a cast led by tenor James Gilchrist, a distinguished Evangelist of his generation.

The performance was sung in German and there was one interval.

Joshua Ellicott replaced Benjamin Hulett. Hanno Müller-Brachmann replaced Rudolf Rosen.

The concert was recorded and broadcast on BBC Four on 31 July 2014.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
