Anyone heading for the Thomaskirche in Leipzig knew what awaited them. An intonation of the gospel, interrupted by a long sermon from the priest. Hard benches in a chilly church. The St Matthew Passion also takes a long time at deSingel, but you’ll be sitting comfortably and there will be no sermon in sight. Moreover, with Daniel Reuss, the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and Cappella Amsterdam, you will have the pleasure of hearing a perfectly attuned team. The result of this encounter opens the windows onto a landscape of unfathomable wonder and almost unbearable beauty. Bach ensnares us in his musical net. But only in a successful live performance do we experience the full meaning of this story of treachery, human shortcomings and surrender. Daniel Reuss brings the drama movingly close.
