Screen Composer John Debney’s ‘La Pasión Oratorio’

John Debney’s “La Pasión Oratorio,” inspired by the composer’s Oscar-nominated score for The Passion of the Christ, was recently performed at the Mosque Cathedral of Córdoba, Spain – appropriately during Holy Week. The concert attended by 6,000 people was the first orchestral concert at the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba in more than 40 years. Conducted by Kevin Kaska, the performance featured the Córdoba Orchestra and Choir Ziryab along with performers from the film’s score, woodwind player Pedro Eustache, and vocalist and soloist Lisbeth Scott. The Córdoba Mosque is one of the largest and oldest in the world. La-La Land records has released a 2-Disc Set in honor of the concert.
