About "St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 - Part One : J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 - Part One: Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen" by Anthony Rolfe Johnson

In 'Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen,' Rolfe Johnson delivers a vow of vigil: the melody is a gentle, unwavering flame against the night. Bach's scoring—flute and strings weaving a cradle of devotion—turns watchfulness into intimacy, the calm surface of faith masking the terror of impending betrayal.
