I should think that Bach's St Matthew Passion trumps the lot. It's very long though, and the one complete performance of it that I went to had a lunch hour. :-) The St John Passion comes in at about hours and is superb. So that's what I'd go for. If you want just one bit, Tears Of Grief at the end of the Matthew Passion would be good on your desert island.
