Composer:
Johann Sebastian Bach

Artist(s):
Dunedin Consort

Conductor:
John Butt

Background: The Dunedin Consort, under the direction of John Butt, follows its award-winning recording of The Messiah with JS Bach's Matthew Passion. This recording cements the Consort's reputation as a group with particular expertise in Baroque music and performance practice.

This new recording presents the Matthew Passion for the first time with Bach's final revisions of scoring, as performed around 1742 (its most familiar form is the 1736 version).

John Butt and the Dunedin Consort recreate the instrumentation and vocal scoring that Bach employed to deliver a unique and historically informed recording. Most striking is the use of eight principal voices (four in each of the two choirs). Matthew Passion, one of Bach’s most celebrated choral masterpieces, is an emotional and challenging musical experience delivered with style and insight by the Dunedin Consort.
