After the Passion according to Saint John, Philippe Pierlot and the Ricercar Consort present the other 'monument' by Bach, the Passion according to Saint Matthew, created in Leipzig in 1727. Characterized by fervent spirituality and constant theatricality, the work follows the tradition of setting the martyrdom of Christ to music in 18th-century Protestant Germany during Holy Week. With its colossal dimensions, incandescent arias, Gospel narratives, and magnificent choral polyphonies, this oratorio calls for impressive forces. A pinnacle of sacred music, performed by one of the most universally admired ensembles in this repertoire!
