Undisputed number one on the Heart & Soul List of Radio 4, and a real Dutch tradition. The Matthäus can be heard every year around Easter in hundreds of sold-out concerthalls and full churches throughout the country.
This time lead by conductor Stephan MacLeod. NRC-Handelsblad praised his ‘ripeness of ideas’ and ‘dynamic subtleties’ in an earlier performance of the Matthäus with the Dutch Bach Association.
Be moved by immortal aria’s like Erbarme dich and Aus Liebe. Be touched by Sind Blitze sind Donner. Experience the tragic story of Jesus, a story of treason, loneliness, death, love and forgiveness. Emotions from all times, raised to a higher leverl by the genius and touching music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
