Recitative's brittle tension: false witnesses rise like thorned vines around the Evangelist's narration. Christa Ludwig's alto cuts through the testimony with a quiet, forensic unease, each syllable a stone dropped into still water. The orchestral underpinning trembles, never settling, as truth and accusation blur.
