Residentie Orkest, Reinhard Goebel: J. S. Bach - St Matthew Passion

J. S. BachJohann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion (“Matthäus-Passion”) is without any doubt on of the major choral works of music history. If you’re looking for a free download of this masterpiece you can find several nice historical recordings and some good amateur recordings but until now you had to spend at least some money for a first class recording.

The Dutch Radio 4 station now offers an excellent new recording, featuring some of the finest Dutch singers, the wonderful The Hague based Residentie Orkest and the Netherlands Chamber Choir and the Haags Matrozenkoor, conducted by one of the leading Bach experts, Reinhard Goebel from Cologne, Germany.

This freely available radio production is a high class recording, comparable to the best commercial recordings by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Philippe Herreweghe, Riccardo Chailly,  Sigiswald Kuijken, John Eliot Gardiner or Stephen Cleobury.

You don’t have to speak a lot of Dutch to get to the free downloads (three 160 kbps MP3 files, 179 MB). Here is how it works:

Start from → matthaus.radio4.nl and click on the three parts of the download (Deel I, Deel II [a], Deel II [b]). A new page will open, were you can right-click on “Download” and chose »Save under…«. On the same page you can find a PDF-booklet (“CD-Boekje”), back on matthaus.radio4.nl is a download (“Vertaling van de Matthäus Passion“) with the complete lyrics (in German and in Dutch).
