This double album is dedicated to the »Passio Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi secundum Evangelistam Matthaeum« (1708), composed Johann Cyriacus Kieling. This St. Matthew Passion is written in a very affective mixed style between Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach.
It contains many short, song-like, expressive arias, pictorally designed recitatives and virutoso choral pieces. The text is strongly reminiscent of the sound aesthetics of the 17th century. 17,- exclusive shipping costs
