    Bach's work is perfection and expresses eternal beauty alongside faith in God, poetry which is a deep prayer full of calmness and intention. As a Jew whose faith is different from Christianity, the concert is a universal class for all religions and reflects the uniqueness of all religions in determining cultural values, equality towards God and towards every person regardless of their faith.

      I was one of the children during this concert. It was one of the most surreal moments I will ever experience and I don't think I realised that at the time. Iván was one of the best conductors I had the honour to sing with.

      Thank you for your touching comment!!; I was in Amsterdam for only 2 days in 1979 from a far away country; took a bus to see the theater I loved on a very cold morning. I was embarrassed to ask to go in for a minute. ; fortunately I rushed to museums!!. Unforgettable orchestra and conductors!

    Merci mille fois de nous offrir cette Passion selon Saint Mathieu. L'évangéliste Mark Padmore et les autres solistes sont tous excellents (pas d'utilisation de contre-ténor à ma grande satisfaction). Une mention spéciale pour le 51 et 52 (Können Tränen meiner Wangen) sobres mais bouleversants. La direction d'Iván Fischer est extraordinairement attentive au texte et les chœurs parfaits. L'orchestre est bien connu pour son excellence (on reconnait nombre d'instrumentistes). La prise de vue et la prise de son sont un régal.
    Bravo pour ce somptueux cadeau…

    I listened to this wonderful rendition in the company of a childhood friend of mine whose younger brother passed away three days ago due to Covid and I came back to our native place from my city of employment of more than 1000 kms away for attending his brother's burial ceremony.My friend knows only our vernacular language but due to my regular coming back on leave and listening to western classical music along with me I made him a fan of your fine music.After our listening to your recital of Mathau's passion I found him far removed from his grief about his brother's departure.When I asked him about his opinion about the rendition he remarked: " when you post your comments don't forget to write about my gratitude for the nearly three hours of spending my life in heavenly pleasures , forgetting the permanent grief about my loss of the only (young) brother". Yes,as I replied to you "your wish is my command ", I have done my duty and your opinion about this wonderful rendition is mine also.Great upload! Thanks.

    This is terrific. I caught the last 20mins when it was streamed, and then it cut out after 5mins when I tried going back to the start - because it was only a stream. I feared it wasn't going to appear as a recording. In the past week, YT has offered various other versions as suggestions, but this was the only one I wanted to hear. Now it's here. Stunning! I had no idea Luc Besson had such a fantastic tenor voice (OK, I know it was Mark Padmore)! Thank you, everyone.

    An honest, wholesome rendering of this magnus opus. Many thanks for posting in time for the Easter week. Jesus Passion was particularly well presented. The children's choir was lovely. This music is probably the best, most complex music ever composed. And one of the most beautiful and dramatic.

    I think it would be tempting to imagine how the Thomas Cantor’s St Matthew Passion would sound, had Bach all of today’s standard means at his disposal, from modern instruments to optimal choir size and superb soloists, without all those known and often unnerving limitations he had to contend with. My conclusion is that the result would come very close to what Ivan Fischer and his Concertgebouw forces are offering us in this performance of “the greatest music achievement before The Ring of the Nibelungs” (Malcolm Boyd).

    Unspeakably beautiful. I heartily approve of the use of mezzos instead of countertenors. There was no such thing as a countertenor in Bach's time and place. The Italians used castrati, but Bach never wrote for castratis.

      Counter-tenor doesn't require castrato. There are males of youth, and some number of males of full age who simply keep the capacity to strike these notes. And castrati would have traveled, and were known from classical literature. As to Bach writing for them, if you can hit the notes, he wrote for you.

      Couldn't agree more re counter tenors ,who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Erbarme dich.
      But what was Peter Harvey,who was supposed to be singing Christus,doing singing the bass aria Mache dich ,mein Herze,rein?The words don't make sense ,not to me at least,if they are being sung by Christus.
      Or ,for that matter why was the Evangelist singing some of the tenor arias?
      Although ,as it was Mark Padmore,I wouldn't complain too much about that.
      However,these inconsistencies ,apparently without reason,spoilt things a bit for me.
      Perhaps someone could give me reasons why they did this,and then I'd be able to watch it again.

      @@barryjohnstone9124 I agree that it was a little strange to see Mark Padmore and Peter Harvey singing arias out of character but I just think of it as actors playing multiple parts. When Peter Harvey is standing on the red podium he's Jesus, when he's not he's not.

      My interpretation is this: The key in the first half of that bar is A minor, which gives the pedal note of the chord, A; but it's juxtaposed against a diminished chord which has the effect of the dominant, because it has the B and G# of E major strongly singing out at the top. So there are two quavers of the jarring harmony you highlight, and the third quaver of the group is the expected A minor. A shorter way of saying it would be an E major 13th chord with an A instead of an E at the bottom!

    From the first few notes, without even seeing the instruments, I could tell this is a modern-instrument performance. What a disappointment. I'm spoiled by the beautiful sound of period-instrument performances of Bach's works.
