5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had been able to hear the live performance...., July 10, 2002

This review is from: Bach: Passio Secundum Matthaeum (Audio CD)

One of the most powerful pieces (together with Mozart's Requiem)of music I have ever listen to. The obvious limitations of the technology at the time of recording only makes me wish I had been able to hear the live performance.
I have listen to other interpretations of the Matheus Passion with superior recording quality but I always prefered this one. A true jewel in my collection.
