Gardiner of Gethsemane
The St John Passion is the latest in a series of recordings of the great choral works of J. S. Bach by John Eliot Gardiner. His approach, with the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists, could be described as authentic and modern at the same time.
In conversation with Michael Oliver , John Eliot Gardiner discusses the Passion and scraping the varnish off the musical past.
