It’s always a revelation when Stephen Layton conducts a warhorse-something you thought you knew. We’re not experiencing some blood-curdling horror, we’re witnessing the crucifixion from the standpoint of eternity. In eight opening steps we’re lifted from the base human view of the event to the view of the angels. That’s why the sunny C-major cadences suddenly make so much sense. OK, now I get it.
