St Matthew Passion

The "St Matthew Passion" by Bach: a masterpiece of the Western cultural heritage like Michelangelos’s Sistine Chapel, Goethe’s "Faust" or Dante’s "Divine Comedy". Philippe Herreweghe on Bach: "A wellspring  of pure water". The "Frankfurter Rundschau" on the St Matthew Passion with Herreweghe and the Collegium Vocale Gent: "Bach’s music appears almost ethereal, every performance is a kind of meditation."
