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 -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.
