The whole of the Netherlands cherishes the St Matthew Passion. And rightly so: this monumental oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach offers an unparalleled concert experience. For three hours, the listener is immersed in a world of wonderful arias, sumptuous choral parts and sparkling Baroque music. Bach's masterpiece frames the Passion of Jesus Christ with a timeless musical splendour that sounds like new every spring. Philzuid invites Italian baroque specialist Enrico Onofri as conductor.

We eagerly await his take on the No. 1 on the Heart & Soul list of most popular classical works
