Matthaus-passion: Seymour / Yorkshire Baroque Soloists C.daniels P.harvey

Peter Seymour and the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists present a new edition of Bachs first version of the Matthus-Passion, probably first performed on Good Friday 1727 and one of the greatest works of JS Bach's prodigious output. Recorded at the National Centre for Early Music in York, the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists are joined by renowned soloists Charles Daniels and Peter Harvey. Praise for Peter Seymour and the Yorkshire Baroque Soloist's previous recording of St John's Passion: as dramatically coherent and satisfying as I've heard for a while this is a St John which carries open-hearted conviction and character before it. Gramophone This disc is testimony to the achievements of the Yorkshire Bach Choir and should extend its reputation to those who have never yet been able to hear it in concert. Early Music Review
