Remarks:
"James MacMillan's compositions must be among the most frequently performed works of all living composers and with the release of this live recording of his new 'St John Passion', it is not hard to see why. Sir Colin Davis, who has recently recorded other Macmillan works, chose him when he was offered the opportunity of a commission to celebrate his 80th birthday and consequently, this new Passion setting is dedicated to Sir Colin Davis and amounts to quite a big birthday present... There are, of course, no comparisons to be made with other recordings yet but I cannot imagine that there could be any significant improvements on Sir Colin Davis' interpretation." -MusicalCriticism.comNotes:
