J.S. Bach’s Passion According to St. Mark: A Contemporary Reconstruction by Dr. Bálint Karosi

By its very nature, J.S. Bach’s St. Mark Passion, BWV 247, is a composition open to reinterpretation. It comes to us in missing, lost parts, requiring a composer to fill in the blanks to complete the non-extant composition. Dr. Karosi, Saint Peter’s Cantor and Director of Music, joins a small number of composers who have undertaken this considerable task. In his reconstruction Dr. Karosi reimagines Bach’s lost Passion, one that does not exist in a definite form, for Saint Peter’s annual Good Friday liturgy. The performance is the first classical showcase since the Church’s extensive structural and acoustic renovation, heralding an exciting return to concerts in its iconic, modernist Sanctuary.
