Kent Nagano in conversation – Krzysztof Penderecki’s St. Lukes Passion on DLF Chormusik (March 2021)

“When the St. Lukes Passion had its world premiere in Münster in 1966, it was reported in feature articles all over the world. The work was discussed quite controversially. But it was soon clear: it is a milestone in 20th century music.”

Listen to DLF’s Chormusik program here, including a conversation with Kent Nagano.

In June 2020, BIS-Records released the recording of Krzysztof Penderecki’s St. Lukes Passion, which was recorded with Kent Nagano and the OSM on the opening night of the prestigious Salzburg Festival at the Felsenreitschule Salzburg in July 2018.
