“I have been stripped of my faith and so I cannot be blessed, since a blessed man will never fear his life becoming a meaningless drift towards certain death. I have not inherited a god or a firm point on earth from which I can call to god; I have also not inherited the concealed rage of the sceptic, the shrewdness of the rationalist, or the ardent candour of the atheist. For that reason, I do not dare to cast the first stone at those who believe in things that I doubt, or at anyone who idolises doubt as if it were not shrouded in shadows. I will cast this stone at myself since there is one thing I firmly believe: human need for consolation is insatiable”.
Stig Dagerman
Bach’s music is a path to consolation, liberation and the search for the other. Johannes-Passion is a violent reflection on the life path to redemption. When does modern man enter into dialogue with this masterpiece? How do we tackle pain, death itself with a hero’s dignity, with the strength of our parents? Johannes-Passion is a masterpiece in the history of music and art. A work charged with humanity and beauty. Bach is our beautiful sharp mirror. Perhaps Bach met God.
