The background
St Matthew Passion
We have been performing the St Matthew Passion every year since 1922. This year, the tradition is continued by the renowned Baroque conductor and good friend of the Bach Society Lars Ulrik Mortensen.
“Absolutely divine“
Betrayal, condemnation, death and unconditional love. Bach’s St Matthew Passion has it all. The piece combines the most terrible and the most beautiful, and it keeps on surprising and moving you, whether or not you are religious. Lars Ulrik Mortensen says, “In the St Matthew Passion, Bach used religious texts. I’ve often wondered if I really ought to be conducting Bach’s religious works as a non-believer. But I think that the deeper meaning of words, whether they come from the Bible or from a poem, is universal. Just as the emotions aroused by those words are universal. Bach writes like a craftsman, with both feet on the ground, and he understands all the human aspects and all our emotions better than anyone. At the same time, he created music that’s absolutely divine. But his acknowledgement of the human element means you can always relate to it.”
