Göttinger Barockchor - Selle: Johannespassion (2023) Hi-Res

The office of music director of the four main churches of Hamburg was one of the most attractive positions that northern Germany had to offer and was excellently filled not only with Telemann. Thomas Selle (1599-1643) held it from 1641 and in this position created outstanding compositions such as the St. John Passion from 1643, which is notable among other things for the extraordinary colorfulness of the instrumentation. The Göttingen Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Antonius Adamske, brings it out radiantly, providing the perfect support for the illustrious trio of soloists.
