The St. Matthew Passion, Bach's crowning masterpiece, is performed by the renowned English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir under conductor Masaaki Suzuki. Featuring soloists Nick Pritchard as the Evangelist and Florian Störtz as Jesus, this monumental work for double chorus and orchestra explores the intense human drama and moral dilemma of the Gospel of Matthew's 26th and 27th chapters.
