Some three hundred years ago, the first performance of the St Matthew Passion took place in Leipzig's Thomaskirche. With lyricist Picander, Bach created a grand masterpiece for two orchestras, two choirs, children's choir and vocal soloists. 'The St Matthew' can be heard every year around Easter in hundreds of sold-out concert halls and packed churches. Be deeply moved by Bach's brilliant rendition of the Passion of Jesus. With beloved arias like 'Erbarme dich' and 'Aus Liebe'.
