St Thomas’s Church, LeipzigBach: St John Passion, BWV 245 (first version, 1724) Elisabeth Breuer (soprano)Jakub Jósef Orliński (countertenor)Daniel Johannsen (tenor)Benjamin Appl (bass: Christus)Tomáš Král (bass: arias)Thomanerchor LeipzigLeipzig Gewandhaus OrchestraAndreas Reize (conductor) At Good Friday Vespers, 1724, in St Nicholas’s Church, Leipzig, the city’s new Thomaskantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, led the first performance of his St John Passion. Three hundred years later, on Good Friday, Bach’s masterwork will return to the same church, performed by the latest incarnation of the composer’s own choir and an orchestra closely related, conducted by the twelfth successor to Bach as Kantor, Andreas Reize.

(For what little it may be worth, the Gregorian calendar had been in use there […]

Tarmo Peltokoski; Philharmonie, BerlinReviewed by Tony Cooper, 23 March 2024Helsinki-born composer, Kaija Anneli Saariaho’s Ciel d’hiver made a great contribution to Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester’s concert at the Philharmonie, BerlinWhilst taking a break from Dmitri Tcherniakov’s Ring cycle at Staatsoper Berlin [see Tony's review], I took in a concert by Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, conductor Tarmo Peltokoski, at the Philharmonie in a well-planned programme comprising Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor with soloist Jan Lisiecki, Sibelius’ Lemminkäinen Suite and a piece by the Helsinki-born composer, Kaija Saariaho, entitled Ciel d’hiver (Winter sky). In fact, the concert opened with Ciel d’hiver. And being not too familiar with Saariaho’s music, I soon discovered that she was a prolific and futuristic writer who penned a trio of […]
