The St. Matthew Passion

Dame Jane Glover, conductor

BACH Passion According to St. Matthew

Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion speaks as urgently of compassion and hope today as it did 300 years ago—and when Music of the Baroque first performed it in 1974. One of the greatest creative achievements of all time, Bach wrote his masterpiece for two choruses, two orchestras, children’s chorus, and soloists. Dame Jane Glover conducts. Approximate running time: 3 hours, 10 minutes including 1 20-minute intermission .
