Matthäus-Passion BWV 244 By J.S. Bach
 

Looking for recommended recordings, CD or Flac Download, of Bach’s Matthäus-Passion…the full orchestral interpretation.



If I’m not mistaken, the final chorus is used during the opening and end credits of the youtube channel “The Timeless Watch Channel”. That rendition is quite impressive.



Thanks for chiming in.

Jacques, there are a lot of very good ones. I'll give you some of my personal favourites, 2 of them from our neck of the woods.

Collegium Vocale Gent, with Philippe Herreweghe as conductor.
