Bach - St Matthew Passion (3CD) [c18] [MP3] (Archiv / Gardiner)



This is widely considered to be the best recording of this work. The exactitude of the choir and orchestra if anything could be deemed its only fault - they are so precise that the end result is almost clinical. As with all of Gardiner's Bach, this was performed on period instruments.

I neglect to give a full tracklisting below as the names are somewhat long. See the freedb entries. The MP3 files themselves are of course fully tagged in a manner consistent with my other torrent releases.
