A timely arrival for Easter. Bach's, St John Passion, Les Musiciens du Louvre/
Marc Minkowski, Erato label. A handsome 88 page booklet includes an interview with Minkowski, An Ensemble Passion. The conductor goes for minimalism if not one-voice-to-a-part 'authenticity', sharing out the solos and choruses between eight singers. The extracts on this morning's Saturday Review makes me eager to hear the two disc set.
