Production details

International star Ian Bostridge joins the finest period instrumentalists and singers of Armonico Consort to bring Bach's masterpiece to life. A work of genius, combining the most perfectly formed recitative interpolated with Bach's most beautiful arias, the St Matthew Passion reflects on the emotional drama from the story of the Passion of Christ. Whatever your own spiritual beliefs, everyone should hear it at least once, and there's no more immediate way to experience it than in this performance by Armonico Consort, the Warwickshire-based period instrument ensemble that's built a worldwide reputation for the freshness and drama of its interpretations.
