Bach: St. Matthew Passion

Classic

Collegium Vocale Gent | Herreweghe

The St. Matthew Passion is Johann Sebastian Bach's most extensive and largest-scaled work. As an experienced Bach expert, Philippe Herreweghe offers an impressive interpretation of this timeless masterpiece with his specialized ensemble Collegium Vocale Gent and a handpicked selection of singers. Monumental, dramatic, and with a striking effect due to the double setup of choir and orchestra, the St. Matthew Passion stands as the pinnacle of Bach's compositional art. The Flemish conductor Philippe Herreweghe, a pioneer of historical performance practice, is familiar with this work like no other and yet discovers new elements in Bach's universe with each performance. With an ideal lineup of soloists and his ensemble Collegium Vocale Gent, founded by him, Herreweghe can draw from a rich pool in this performance.
