About

Another re-discovery from the archives of the Academy of Song in Berlin: Capriccio presents the world premiere of C.P.E. Bach’s St. Mark’s Passion, written in 1786.
 
This performance is conducted by the very capable Joshard Daus, with the Europa Chor Akademie – which he founded - accompanied by the Mendelssohn Symphonia. This work was written by the composer when he was 72 years old. It shows that the old man kept up with the movements of contemporary fashion. Instead of emotional arias, the solo pieces are kept short and song-like, in a stark contrast to the famous “Passion works” written by the father.
