Description:

La Folle Journe 2015 Program (Tokyo: May 3)An Exquisite Fusion of Lyrical Beauty and Dramatic ElementsA Classic Recording of the St. John Passion Made in 1977, at the Height of the Analog EraThis is a classic recording of the St. John Passion in which lyrical beauty and dramatic elements are exquisitely fused within a refined structure. Corbos signature natural flow of music, combined with the exquisite subtlety of the choirs nuances and dynamics, exerts a powerful influence here as well, allowing Bachs music to speak gently to the listeners heart. Upon its initial release in Japan in 1978, it was highly praised by Ryosuke Hatanaka in *Record Art* magazine as embodying the most contemporary interpretation of Bachs spirit. Recorded in Lausanne in 1977, at the height of the analog era, the sound remains beautiful to this day. Released in 2014 to commemorate the visit to Japan by Corb
