SUMMARY:J.S. Bach: Matthäuspassion, BWV 244 (MCO)
DESCRIPTION:Johann Sebastian Bach: Matthäuspassion, BWV 244\nSolisten:\nNick Pritchard – Tenor I (Evangelist)\nFlorian Störtz – Bass I (Christus)\nCarolyn Sampson – Sopran I\nJone Martínez – Sopran II\nAlexander Chance – Altus I\nMatthias Dähling – Altus II\nHugo Hymas – Tenor\nTimothy Edlin – Bass\n \nMonteverdi Choir\nEnglish Baroque Soloists\nLeitung – Masaaki Suzuki\n \nOffizielle Konzertankündigung:\nMasaaki Suzuki will conduct his acclaimed his vision of the work, performed according to Bach’s partbooks, with solo singers stepping out of the choir. The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists will be integrated with the most brilliant members of a new generation of Bach singers.\nTo experience a performance of the St Matthew Passion is to participate in something larger than a concert. For Bach and his congregation, this music formed part of a shared act of devotion, a way of understanding and engaging with the central message of Christianity. But the generosity of Bach’s musical imagination allows the music to resonate beyond its original context with an extraordinary humanity, bringing solace and inspiration to performers and listeners, whatever our beliefs.\nBach’s earlier musical version of the Passion of Christ, the St John, was already extravagant and ambitious by the standards of the time.  The St Matthew, composed for Leipzig in 1727, goes even further, with two choruses and two orchestras, sometimes in dialogue, sometimes in ferocious opposition, sometimes in exultant unity. Bach illuminates the complex structure of the piece with amazing inventiveness, varying the instrumentation and musical structures, interweaving the ancient chorales of his Lutheran forebears through the biblical narrative and the reflective poetry of his collaborator Picander.\n“A dream cantata date for Japanese maestro and local supergroup…Here was choral and instrumental Bach performed not just with meticulous professionalism but a dash and verve that filled each movement with an infectious enthusiasm.” – The Arts Desk on Masaaki Suzuki’s debut with the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists, June 2025\n
