J. S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion

Klaus Mäkelä conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

In Amsterdam, every Easter week begins with a performance of one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Passions. After Willem Mengelberg, Bernard Haitink, and Mariss Jansons, new chief conductor designate Klaus Mäkelä is now continuing this tradition. The role of the Evangelist will be sung by Maximilian Schmitt, that of Christ by Matthew Brook, the two artists representing the German and British interpretations of great Baroque oratorios. In Amsterdam, both performance traditions merge into their own oratorio heritage, which we can now also experience in Baden-Baden.
