Music director Mark Padmore, actor Nakhane and film director Grant Gee talk about their experience of recording the St John Passion. After a year of isolation, the trio explores how this renewed sense of coming together affects our impression of the Passion and how this can help us to make sense of the suffering. Grant describes Battersea Arts centre as a ‘skin’ that feels containing and personal to those inside and reflects on how the music informs the visual interpretation of the film.

This video was made during the break of our recording of Bach's St John Passion. The Passion is not simply a beautiful piece of music, but a reflection on suffering and an attempt to make sense of it. Since our lives have been disrupted by the pandemic, the Passion now speaks to us from a fresh understanding of suffering and ignites in us a personal sense of compassion and empathy. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Marquee TV presents a new filmed realisation of this monumental production recorded in Battersea Arts Centre, with an all-star cast including Mark Padmore as Evangelist and Gerald Finley as Christus.
