    So it is a patchwork quilt effort with recording of the late, great, Robert Tear replacing the missing James Gilchrist in the 2nd part. Sir David Willcox conducting that part.

        ... fortunately I have some excellent S Matthew Passions on disc. I think I shall listen to one of them...

          A bit of a change in styles then, but presumably not in language/

            Do you happen to have the von Karajan recording with Kathleen Ferrier by any chance? Just wondering if that is a recording worth having.

              Salymap, he has fully recovered! Catherine Bott mentioned it in her introduction. I didn't like the bass voice. He seemed out of tune?
