A thoroughly enjoyable performance. Bach is the sort of composer who's music can take a wide variety of arrangements. This was very much like the OAE at The Southbank in 2010 (I think). Last year I heard a very lush often perfumed rendition by the RLPO. All of them quite superb in execution. You cannot do easter without St Matt!

I thought it was gripping. Utterly NOT bel canto, but like a sustained drama - as of course it is - but urgent and clear. VG stuff.Comment
