Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion moves listeners like few other compositions, evoking at the same time sorrow and support. The work is presumed to have been premiered in 1727, at Good Friday Vespers in St Thomas Church in Leipzig. With texts by Christian Friedrich Henrici, the monumental work tells the story of the Passion of Christ according to chapters 26 and 27 of the Gospel of Matthew. Though intense and highly complex, it also contains memorable motifs.
