About "St. John Passion, BWV 245 / Part Two : J.S. Bach: St. John Passion, BWV 245 / Part Two: No. 39 "Ruht wohl, ihr heiligen Gebeine"" by Netherlands Radio Chorus
The chorus breathes âRuht wohlâ like a lullaby for the dead: soft, collective, a blanket drawn over cold limbs. Bachâs harmonies rock between repose and rupture, the holy bones resting in a tomb of sound. You can almost hear the stone being rolled away.
