The St. John Passion was first performed in Leipzig on Good Friday of 1724. Written three years before the St. Matthew Passion it was a work Bach revised during the rest of his life in fact he did not leave us a definitive version either in print or fair copy. The sources give evidence of four different versions used at four performances - 1724 1725 around 1730 and during the last years of Bach's life. They often contain two or more readings for the same passage or even different movements that on different occasions occupied the same place in the work.Barenreiter's edition uses the final version IV as its basis with alternativemovements and readings contained in the appendices. A comprehensive preface in the study score (German/English) TP197 gives full information.- Full score performance material (BA5037) vocal score (BA5037-90) and study score (TP197) available for sale.

Dresden, eine Bach-Stadt? Nein - mit Blick auf die Person Johann Sebastian Bachs, der sich vergeblich um ein Engagement am Hofe bewarb. Ja - als geistige Heimat zahlreicher Künstler von internationalem Rang, in deren Schaffen Bach ein permanenter Bezugspunkt ist.Diese Erfahrungen mit Bach bilden den Ausgangspunkt der Beiträge von Musikern und Wissenschaftlern, die in Dresden arbeiten, von der lokalen Tradition geprägt sind, sie reflektieren und weitergeben. Fast beiläufig entsteht ein reiches Spektrum von neuen und unkonventionellen Zugängen zu Bach: ein reiches Kapitel der Rezeption seiner Werke und ein Stück Musikgeschichte der sächsischen Hauptstadt.
