One of the peaks of the choral repertoire, the ‘St. Matthew Passion’ remains one of Bach’s most recorded (and popular) works. This recording is special, not only for its simplicity and reverential glow but also because the international cast of soloists (German, Dutch, English), all at the peak of their careers, seem so inspired and so well-matched. This selection of highlights offers some of the Mass’ greatest moments, from the opening and closing choruses to the wonderful ‘Erbarme dich’.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
St. Matthew Passion (highlights)
Kommt, ihr Tochter
Ich will Die mein herze schenken
Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen
So ist mein Jesus nun gefangen
O Mensch, bewein’ Dein’ Sunde gross
Erbarme dich mein Gott
Bin ich gleich von dir gewichen
Gebt mir meinen Jesum wieder
Befiel du deine Wege
Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben
O haupt voll Blut und Wunden
Ach golgotha
Sehet, jesus hat die Hande
Am abend, da es kuhle war
Mache dich, mein Herze rein
Wir setzen uns mit Tranen nieder
