ST. MARK PASSION
First complete new baroque setting of the text by Picander
Music by Nikolaus Matthes
“The most intriguing new Passion recording this year (…), so baroque – but it was actually created in the last couple of years (…). I found this surprisingly effective, especially in a performance as committed as this. (…) A brand new St. Mark Passion that often feels as old as Bach, but simultaneously fresh and vital.”
