St. Matthew Passion – J.S. Bach. The St. Matthew Passion is considered the favorite composition in the Netherlands during the Passion season

Centuries old but still relevant. Johann Sebastian Bach conceived a unique arrangement for his masterpiece: two choirs and two orchestras. The composition tells the chronological story of the Passion of Christ, in which symbolism plays a major role. Bach uses a variety of musical means to achieve rich effects. He wrote specific roles for both instruments and soloists. The narrator, the evangelist, guides you through the story. He alternates with the choir, at times intimate and at other times overwhelming. Each soloist has their own emotional dimension, such as love, sorrow, consolation, and contemplation. The musicians of The Bach Orchestra of the Netherlands play authentic instruments from Bach's time. The Bach Choir of the Netherlands is renowned for its dynamic and expressive sound. Together, these musicians are uniquely capable of conveying symbolism, emotion, and consolation to you, the listener. Internationally renowned soloists complete the unique cast. The St. Matthew Passion is considered the favorite composition during the Passion season in the Netherlands and is anchored in our culture.
