JS Bach St. Mark's Passion

Jason McStoots carried out the yeoman’s part of the Evangelist with an extraordinary range of expression. Over much of the two hours, McStoots’s voiced a resolute and absorbing storyteller. His absolutely understandable enunciation conveyed the illusion of an actor in a compelling monodrama. While he could summon fieriness or grief, his highly attractive tenor tones could not have been more ear-catching, whether in high or low tessitura.

JS Bach St. Mark's Passion

Handel was by far the most memorable character in the ‘backstage’ cast. Played to hilarious perfection by Jason McStoots, he composes and busies himself writing and handing out music to the orchestra players, generally being a fidgeting busybody. McStoots was glorious in his one melismatic aria, “Consider fond shepherd.”

“McStoots was the consummate artist, wielding not just a sweet tone but also incredible technique and impeccable pronunciation.”
