Presented by Martin Handley
Bach's St Matthew Passion is often regarded as one of his finest achievements, and as one of the pinnacles of sacred choral music. The dramatic re-telling of the events of Holy Week has a power and expressive beauty that add up to an overwhelming experience. In this concert Sir Simon Rattle returns to Birmingham to conduct the CBSO for the first time in four years, together with an outstanding international line-up of soloists.
