Gavin Carr, Conductor
Following the extraordinary success of his 2007 performance
of this masterwork in aid of Dorothy House Hospice, Gavin
Carr again brings together some of the world's finest soloists and
the leading period ensemble, The Parley of Instruments, with
his own celebrated Bristol Bach Choir in what promises to be
another landmark event, raising much-needed funds for the widely
respected charity.
Bach's magisterial St Matthew Passion, sung in the original
German, tells the story of Christ's final days, from his betrayal right
through to his death, in music full of drama and emotion.
