For every lover of Bach’s music, and of music in general, the St. Matthew Passion is a “sacred” work, a supreme expression of man’s journey towards the divine, a testimony of soul and spirit in their purest, most sincere and deepest dimension. This time the St. Matthew Passion is presented in a semi-staged version, with the element of movement adding another dimension to the perception of the work, making its sublime musical meanings more tangible, more dramatic, and perhaps even more relevant.
