Leipzig. Good Friday, 1727. We can only imagine the impact as Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion resounded through St Thomas’ Church for the first time.
300 years later, it remains fresh and profound. A timeless exploration of hopes and sorrows, it portrays the full spectrum of human emotion: the clamour of the crowd, the drama of betrayal, and the poignancy of grief, brought vividly to life in stirring choruses, heartfelt arias, and richly coloured orchestral writing.
