About the St Matthew Passion

Bach's musical account of the last days of Jesus is brilliant, compelling and moving. Those who hear the opening chorus of the St Matthew Passion are immediately captivated by the almost otherworldly beauty and intensity of this music. Other highlights include the moving soprano aria ‘Blute nur’, the comforting alto aria ‘Erbarme dich’ with its famous violin solo and the overwhelming choral work ‘Sind Blitze, sind Donner’.
