In the final programme in the Handel season, Brian Wright and Simon Heighes introduce a performance of the Brockes-Passion given at the 1996 London Handel Festival.
Barthold Heinrich Brockes's poem concentrates on Christ's physical suffering during the Passion, to which Handel responds with contemplative and emotive music.

Lorna Anderson and Jeni Bern (sopranos), Tobias Cole (countertenor), Charles Daniels and Ian Partridge (tenors), Michael George and David Thomas (basses),
