He magnifies the sound by a third choir and reinforces the variety of the recitative. This masterpiece closes the long list of passions in the history of music. Those that follow will no longer, with rare exceptions, be passions in the liturgical sense, and will open the way to the oratorio form. Production Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
