St. John Passion Main Performer or Conductor: Karl Richter Accompaniment/Orchestra: Munchener Bach Orchester - Munchener Bach Choir Instrumentation: Choir Orchestra Individual Works: St. John Passion, BWV 245 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Deutsche Grammophon Catalog Number: 453 007-2 Year Released/Recorded: 1964 Total Playing Time: 2h8m57s Comments: Comments from ES: Karl Richter's 1964 recording re-issued by d.g. on a 2-cd set with "0riginal-image bit-processing" which sounds clear and very good. Richter, as always, is very impressive. Personal taste: like Rolfe-Johnson better as evangelist.
