Johannes-Passion
Album by Sofia Asgatovna Gubaidulina & Valery Gergiev
Johannes-Passion is a choral-orchestral passion composed by Sofia Gubaidulina, completed in 2000. The work fuses contemporary classical techniques with liturgical choral tradition, featuring stark timbral contrasts, extended instrumental and vocal sonorities and a ritualistic atmosphere, and represents a late-career continuation of Gubaidulina's sustained engagement with spiritual themes in her music.
First released: 2000
