Over het album

Peter Seymour and the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists present a new edition of Bach’s first version of the Matthäus-Passion, probably first performed on Good Friday 1727. Recorded at the National Centre for Early Music in York, the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists are joined by soloists Charles Daniels and Peter Harvey. Praise for Mr. Seymour and the Yorkshire Baroque Soloist's St John's Passion: '… this is a St John which carries open-hearted conviction and character before it.' (Gramophone) 'This disc is testimony to the achievements of the Yorkshire Bach Choir...' (Early Music Review)
