The St. Matthew Passion belongs to Easter, just like the Christmas Oratorio to Christmas and is one of the most popular works of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Our complete recording under the direction of the two brothers Rudolf and Erhard Mauersberger is a true classic in our catalog, which is now reissued in a completely new and elaborate packaging and in a comprehensive booklet with color pictures, including complete vocal texts.

The special feature of this recording is that the Thomanerchor Leipzig and the Dresdner Kreuzchor perform here together with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. For Rudolf (Kreuzkantor) and Erhard (Thomaskantor) Mauersberger, this memorable recording in 1970 marks the crowning achievement of their professional collaboration. The names Schreier, Adam, Stolte, Burmeister, Rotzsch and Leib represent the highest art of singing in the living tradition of Bach.
