Gewandhausorchester, Thomanerchor Leipzig, Andreas Reize Dirigent

Lightning and thunder crash around us, voices clamor from all sides. We're bombarded with questions and complaints. In Bach's St. Matthew Passion, two choruses and orchestras cry out "Crucify him!" from the galleries of St. Thomas Church, immersing us in the scene. Amidst the mockery, individual compassion shines, a heart-wrenching duality of love and pain. The Passion gives voice to human suffering. Where the world is out of joint, where old church values crumble before cardinal sins and the pursuit of capital, where struggles for world explanations and divine favor fuel wars, Bach's counterpoint makes dissenting voices heard, offering solace and reconciliation.
