Programme
In the history of Passion settings, which stretches back over a thousand years, Bach's two surviving Passions according to St. John and St. Matthew occupy an outstanding position. Bach himself held both works in high esteem and performed them repeatedly until the end of his life. The Collegium Vocale of the Salzburg Bach Society and an exquisite ensemble of soloists, together with the L'Orfeo Barockorchester under the direction of the legendary cellist and conductor Christophe Coin, provide a contemplative and heartfelt introduction to the Easter events for the first time.
