Bach St. Matthew Passion

  1. Thanks Steve - have you heard Karl Richter's 1959 recording? My pick. He's the only interpreter that rightly conveys the drama of the Centurion saying "surely this man was the Son of God".

    1. Richter also recorded many of the cantatas. Some classic performances. He was a fine organist as well.

    2. True - his Passacaglia is outstanding.
