Snemanje, All Hallows, Gospel Oak, London, april 2012.

Že več kot trideset let so izvedbe Bachovega St John Passion, ki jih Stephen Layton pripravlja z ansamblom Polyphony, tesno povezane z velikim petkom v cerkvi St John's Smith Square v Londonu.

Od leta 1995 so koncerti združevali Polyphony, vodilne orkestre z izvajanjem na zgodovinskih glasbilih in zaporedne generacije uglednih solistov. Izvedbe so postale stalnica londonskega velikonočnega glasbenega koledarja, sledile pa so jim izvedbe v Evropi in drugod.

Aprila 2012 sta Polyphony in Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment v cerkvi All Hallows, Gospel Oak, v Londonu za Hyperion Records posnela delo. Posnetek je izšel marca 2013, z Ianom Bostridgeem kot evangelistom in Nealom Daviesom kot Kristusom.

Projekt združuje posnetek, film, odzive kritike in kronološki pregled izvedb ansambla Polyphony od leta 1995 dalje.
