J. S. Bach: Matthäus Passion

About three hundred years ago, the first performance of the St. Matthew Passion took place in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. With lyricist Picander, Bach created a grand masterpiece for two orchestras, two choirs, a children's choir and vocal soloists. 'The St. Matthew Passion' can be heard every year around Easter in hundreds of sold-out concert halls and packed churches. Jos van Veldhoven's last St. Matthew Passion with 'his' Netherlands Bach Society was praised in the Volkskrant for its 'transparent sound', 'dramatic moments' and 'swinging performance'. Now, too, he brings his own selection of excellent vocal soloists and additional instrumentalists. Let yourself be deeply moved by Bach's brilliant musical interpretation of the Passion of Jesus. With beloved arias such as Erbarme dich and Aus Liebe. A tale of betrayal, pain, death, forgiveness and love.
