Bach - St Matthew Passion, BWV 244
Bach's famous Saint Matthew Passion premiered on Good Friday of 1727 in the St. Thomas Church of Leipzig in Eastern Germany. Since then, it has become essential to the repertoire of Easter compositions. In this 2014 concert from the Grande Auditório Gulbenkian in Lisbon, the Portuguese Gulbenkian Orchestra interprets the work under the baton of Swiss conductor Michel Corboz, accompanied by the wonderful vocalists of the Gulbenkian Choir, and the children's choir Coro Infantil da Universidade de Lisboa. The soloists are Sandrine Piau (soprano), Carlos Mena (counter-tenor), Vincent Lièvre-Picard (evangelist), Christophe Genz (tenor), André Baleiro (Christ) and Peter Harvey (bass).
