This Easter, experience the power, the drama and the undimmed glory of Bach’s St Matthew Passion in one of London’s great churches – performed by Masaaki Suzuki and the Monteverdi Choir.
“My heart swims in tears…” Bach’s St Matthew Passion is more than one of the greatest of all sacred works. It’s a profound human drama; a heartbreaking musical exploration of eternal hopes and sorrows. As director of the Bach Collegium Japan, Masaaki Suzuki has built a worldwide reputation in baroque sacred music. Now he shares all his insight and devotion with another legendary name in Bach performance, the Monteverdi Choir: a one-off meeting of musical hearts and minds, united in their devotion to a masterwork that transcends any one performance. Still, this one should be rather special…
