“What was once sacred music on a Good Friday in 1736 in Leipzig, has now become something bigger..” Conductor Jos van Veldhoven explains the paradox, which he sees between his role as historical interpreter and the message that audiences take from the the St Matthew Passion, which he performed with the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 16th and 19th 2014 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel [ Ссылка ] or consider donating [ Ссылка ].
