Date & Time
Thu, Mar 28, 2024, 19:00
Thank goodness for Mendelssohn! If the 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn had not brought Bach’s »St Matthew Passion« back to light in 1829, after it had lain forgotten in some archive since the first performance a century earlier, an incomparable masterpiece would be missing from the concert and church music repertoire. More than that, in fact: with his revival of the »St Matthew Passion«, the young composer kicked off a massive renaissance of Bach’s music that has lost none of its momentum... Read full text

Bach: St John Passion

Fri, Apr 18, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Pygmalion (Choir), Pygmalion (Orchestra), Julian Prégardien (Evangelist), Huw Montague Rendall (Jesus), Ying Fang (Soprano), Lucile Richardot (Alto), Laurence Kilsby (Tenor), Christian Immler (Pilate), Raphaël Pichon (Director)
The »St John Passion« is one of the most important and moving compositions in the history of music. In the 300 years since its premiere, it has not lost its emotional impact with which Johann Sebastian Bach set to music the suffering of Jesus Christ. Composed for Good Friday in 1724, this great work now sounds on the same bank holiday at the Elbphilharmonie. The period ensemble Pygmalion plays under the direction of its conductor Raphaël Pichon. At nine years old, the French Pichon sang the »St John Passion« for the first time – a crucial experience for the singer and conductor. For many years, Bach’s music remained and forms the core repertoire of the Pygmalion ensemble, which Pichon established in 2007. Historically informed and always with a fresh look at the music, these concerts are hailed by audiences and critics. The musicians play instruments which originate from the time of the Passion or were replicated and ensure a unique listening experience. Renowned tenor Julian Prégardien is also involved in the role of the evangelist.

St Matthew Passion

Fri, Apr 4, 2025, 19:00
Muziekgebouw, Hertog Jan Zaal (Eindhoven)
Hans-Christoph Rademann (Conductor), Benedikt Kristjánsson (Evangelist), Carine Tinney (Soprano), Kristen Witmer (Soprano), Terry Wey (Alto), Olivia Vermeulen (Alto), Georg Poplutz (Tenor), James Gilchrist (Tenor), Matthias Winckhler (Bass), Tobias Berndt (Bass), Kampen Boys Choir
Every year, for more than a century, we have been performing one of Bach’s most popular works: the St Matthew Passion. This year, the prominent German conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann is leading our ensemble.Bach’s masterly music keeps moving us“Betrayal, condemnation and death, but above all – love. Although the words of the St Matthew Passion are age-old, the story and the message are still relevant today. And every year, Bach’s masterly music moves us once again. Bach’s masterpiece is in good hands with Rademann. In every St Matthew Passion he performs, this real Bach man – founder of the Dresdner Kammerchor, artistic director of the Bachakademie Stuttgart and regular name at the international music festival Bachfest – seeks out a new contemporary approach, always keeping a careful eye on the monumental character of the work. For decades, he has been one of the most successful choral conductors in Germany. Plenty of reason, therefore, to invite Rademann as the guest conductor for our traditional Passion concerts.
