It may not sound like much of a recommendation, but Sch&uuml;tz&#8217;s passions (Matthew, Luke, and John) sound a lot like Bach&#8217;s, but without the arias. This makes the crowd choruses (e.g. &#147;Crucify him!&#148;) the only exciting parts, but the recitative is so utterly (can&#8217;t think of a better word) . . . appropriate that I don&#8217;t miss the arias at all.<\/p>\n<p>I would have liked to have played the <em>Seven Words<\/em> and the <em>St. Luke Passion<\/em> in my favorite recording of both, by Gustav Leonhardt, but that still hasn&#8217;t come out on CD, and I don&#8217;t have a phonograph, plus my records are still in Baltimore.
