Bach's St. Matthew Passion like never before
Everyone knows the St Matthew Passion. But when have you truly heard it? When is it more than tradition, a musical experience that gets under your skin? Arcangelo, directed by the visionary Jonathan Cohen, elevates Bach’s masterpiece to a new level. This leading ensemble, which has often succeeded in surprising DE SINGEL’s audience, does not give you routine. With their in-depth knowledge of historical performance practice and a world-class team of vocal soloists, they present a performance that fizzes with drama, intimacy and pure musical craftsmanship. The ethereal brilliance of Nick Pritchard as the Evangelist, the profound authority of Alex Rosen as Christ, and the captivating intensity of Giulia Semenzato and Hugh Cutting render this Matthew a rare gem. No repetition, no predictability, but a Passion that compels you to listen afresh.
