greatest performance of the greatest music ever

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

this is in my opinion the greatest
recording of the greatest piece of music ever written (in my opinion
at least, and I am most definitely not alone in that opinion), the St
Matthew Passion. here it is performed by the Collegium Vocale Gent
conducted by Philippe Herreweghe.
there are some minor flaws in the
recording, for example at 54:58, but they don't diminuish the
greatness of this performance.

there are some passages that move me to
tears, and you can clearly
see that the singers themselves are close to tears as well there.

the soloists are:

 Christoph Prégardien - tenor (Evangelist)
Tobias Berndt - baritone (Jesus)
Dorothee Mields - soprano
Hana Blažíková - soprano
Damien Guillon - countertenor
Robin Blaze - countertenor
Colin Balzer - tenor
Hans Jörg Mammel - tenor
Matthew Brook - bass
Stephan MacLeod - bass

enjoy and be moved as well
