Bach St Matthew Passion Sunday, 24th March

[DracoM]

Bach's St Matthew Passion live from Philharmonic Hall in Cracow. Andrew Parrott conducts the paired-down forces of Capella Cracoviensis, as he believes the work would have been performed in Bach's time, with a small orchestra and just a few singers taking all the solo and chorus parts.


Evangelist ..... Marc Molomot (tenor)
Jesus ..... Guy Pelc (bass)
Judas ..... James Arthur (bass)
Pilate, Peter ..... Andrzej Zawisza (bass)
Emily Van Evera, Ulrike Hofbauer, Mira Szaryr, Marta Wróblewska, Anna Krawczyk (sopranos)

One of the very finest Bach conductors; this will be unmissable for me. Many thanks for the "nudge", DracoM.

Would be nice to have it from the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, where it is traditionally played on Palm Sunday.
