St. Matthew's Passion (BWV 244) - for choirs and soloists
This world-famous masterpiece, composed by the former Thomas cantor Johann Sebastian Bach, tells the story of Jesus' passion as it can be read in the 26th and 27th chapters of the Gospel of Matthew.
Bach uses two choirs, two orchestras and six solo voices for the presentation. It is considered as one of Bach’s most monumental compositions inspired by a deep Christian faith and was originally composed for the Vespers service on Good Friday 1727 in the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig.
