Heinrich Schütz’ expressive setting of the Easter story predates Bach’s Passions by a century. Set for an evangelist, eight-part choir, four violas da gamba and continuo, it is a work of quiet intensity that quickly draws the listener into its introspective soundworld in which the evangelist binds together a rich patchwork of choruses and small ensembles. Helsinki Chamber Choir and the Finnish Baroque Orchestra Lähelle tours are supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
In collaboration with: Finnish Baroque Orchestra, Finnish Cultural Foundation and the parishes of Forssa, Tammisaari, Mäntyharju and Nurmes
Instrumental music for the organ and the gamba ensemble
