Easter is Bach time, and his St Matthew Passion is the pinnacle of this tradition. In this masterpiece, Bach weaves suffering, repentance, and redemption into a profound spiritual journey that resonates deeply with every listener. Under the inspired baton of baroque specialist Laurence Cummings, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and the Vlaams Radiokoor join forces to deliver a moving performance. Soprano Carolyn Sampson enchants with her ethereal voice, while tenor Joshua Ellicott brings dramatic intensity as the Evangelist. This exceptional cast immerses you in a transcendent musical experience.

Met de steun van de Belgische Tax Shelter en BNP Paribas Fortis Film Finance.
