This newIy subtitIed performance of Bach's masterpiece was recorded Iive at the Romanesque church in AIpirsbach. The St. Matthew Passion, acknowIedged to be the cuImination of Bach's writing for the Church, was first performed at St. Thomas', Leipzig, on Good Friday in 1729. lt is considered to be the greatest work of its kind ever written, a deeply moving combination of joy and grief which attains the utmost heights of expressiveness.
ln this accIaimed performance, Enoch zu Guttenberg conducts the Neubeuern ChoraI Society and the Munich Bach ColIegium. Guttenberg founded the Neubeuern Choral Society in 1967 and within a few years won international accIaim with this unique Bavarian choir. Guttenberg's main repertoire is drawn from the great oratorios from Bach to Stravinsky. |
