Bach several times produced performances of a St Mark Passion that had been written in Hamburg  before 1710 and has since been attributed to various composers, including Reinhard Keiser and, more recently, Friedrich Nicolaus Bruhns. Whatever the truth, Bach hardly engaged with any other contemporary work as frequently and intensively as he did this Passion-setting. Of the various surviving versions, Solomon’s Knot presents the one Bach performed exactly 300 years ago in Leipzig, offering a chance to hear this rarely performed, expressive music of the North German Baroque tradition – another fascinating example of Bach’s inspirations and sonic models.
