Armonico Consort & Baroque Players Directed by Christopher Monks First heard on Good Friday 1727, J.S. Bach’s St Matthew Passion vividly and dramatically brings to life the tale of the Passion of Christ according to St. Matthew. 300 years later the St Matthew Passion continues to have a profound impact. Bach’s faith and extraordinary insight into human nature are evident in every bar. Armonico Consort’s finest soloists, chorus, and period instrumentalists will shine as they explore the intense emotions and humanity of Bach’s music. “Pure Pleasure” THE GUARDIAN ☆☆☆☆ ☆ Supersize Polyphony THE TIMES ☆☆☆☆ ☆ “Splendid” Naked Byrd THE INDEPENDENT ☆☆☆☆ ☆ BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
