Bach: St Matthew Passion (Matthäus-Passion BWV 244) /Herreweghe

Sublime
What can I say, all the superlatives have been used in the reviews below. Even though I'm new to this recording I see I've already played it thirty-five times, I have simply in all my life never heard anything more uplifting. The choruses, especially the two longest, are just sublime, and if you've watched the full-length video on You Tube of Herreweghe and the Collegium performing this piece live (just google herreweghe matthew youtube) you can imagine the lovely ladies (can't speak for the blokes) of the Collegium singing it with such obvious passion and commitment as you listen to the CD. As someone else said, this recording is a love for a lifetime, I hope to be listening to it on my dying day. Thank you M. Herreweghe and the Collegium, and Johann Sebastian, perhaps the greatest genius of European civilisation.

The most sublime recording of the most sublime choral work ever written, Herreweghe and his players in supreme yet humble mastery of Bach's genius
