ST. MARK PASSION<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

First complete new baroque setting of the text by Picander<\/span><\/h1>\n

Music by Nikolaus Matthes

“The most intriguing new Passion recording this year (…), so baroque \u2013 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.”<\/span><\/strong>
