A musical masterpiece of profound spirituality and one of the supreme creative achievements of all time, Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion speaks as urgently of conscience, compassion and hope today as it did when it was written nearly 300 years ago. This is music drawn on a vast emotional canvas, scored for double orchestra, performed with the power and passion Music of the Baroque always brings to Bach’s great choral works. It is certain to be one of the most important events of the classical music year.
