On Good Friday, the text is the account of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ as set forth in St. Matthew's Gospel. In 1729, Bach approached the task of setting it to music with the most ambitious scheme ever devised. The story is told in recitative form by a tenor representing the Evangelist. Other vocal soloists represent the main participants in the drama, with the voice of Jesus Himself always surrounded by a 'halo' of strings. Choruses illustrate and reflect on the action, with moments such as the crowd demanding Jesus' crucifixion bringing forth some of Bach's greatest choral writing. Chorales, based on familiar hymn tunes, allowed the faithful to participate in the drama. Bach's St. Matthew Passion continues to rank as one of the supreme achievements of European music. This 3CD set brings it to you in its entirety by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Herbert Von Karajan. Release Date: N/A
