"What makes Gardiner's St Matthew Passion stand out in the face of stiff competition is, more than anything, his vivid sense of theatre. Bach's score is, after all, a sacred drama and Gardiner..." — Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010
For three decades Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s first recording of the Bach St Matthew Passion has been a milestone in the catalogue. Deutsche Grammophon is reissuing this masterstroke in a 2-CD brilliant box, replacing the previous 3-CD release.
