Recordings of the St John Passion are shown as a sortable table of selected notable recordings of Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion, BWV 245.
The work was first recorded by symphonic choirs and orchestras.
From the late 1960s, historically informed performances (HIP) tried to adhere more to the sounds of the composer's lifetime, who typically wrote for boys choirs and for comparatively small orchestras of Baroque instruments, often now called "period instruments".
Some scholars believe that Bach used only one singer for a vocal part in the choral movements, termed "one voice per part" (OVPP).
The sortable listing is taken mostly from the selection provided by Aryeh Oron on the Bach-Cantatas website.
