Johann Sebastian Bach
St. Matthew Passion BWV 244.
“Not Bach, but Ocean should be his name,” Beethoven once said of Bach, and the St. Matthew Passion, with its emotional complexity, impressively underscores what he meant. For this monumental work, which premiered 300 years ago on Good Friday, Collegium 1704, under the direction of its founder Václav Luks, is one of the world's most sought-after ensembles.
