Notes
Bach's St Matthew Passion has been released as a new recording on the King's College record label. The Choir of King's College, Cambridge, is joined by the Academy of Ancient music and a host of outstanding soloists led by alumnus James Gilchrist, conducted by the late Sir Stephen Cleobury.
Recorded during Holy Week 2019, it is Cleobury’s last performance of the monumental work before his untimely death in November last year. Released on 27 March, the album comes as a 3-album set in high-resolution audio and 5.1 surround-sound. It comes with a 60-page booklet featuring photographs from the recording, a brand-new commentary on the Passion by Bach scholar John Butt, and a full translation by Michael Marissen.

Reviews
“… Cleobury himself leads a totally assured account, briskly paced, nicely shaped, well balanced amongst his forces, and everywhere aptly expressive. It goes without saying that the choir and orchestra are likewise both excellent… The recorded sound is first-rate…”
James A Altena – Fanfare – September/October 2020
Performance *** Recording ****
"... Cleobury steers an assured path between our traditional responses to the St Matthew Passion and one whch reflects developing performing practices, vocal and instrumental, over the past half century. James Gilchrist is no stranger to the onerous role of Evangelist ... His lightly articulated and subtly shaded declaimation ... is a constant pleasure. Matthew Roses's Christus is resonant and authoritative ... By and large the arias are well served by the remaining soloists. David Allsopp's 'Erbarme dich' is sensitively nuanced and well-sustained and William Guant's 'Mache dich' is beautifully executed ... Lovers of the King's sound will not be disappointed by the choruses and chorales, where producer and engineer have faithfully captured the boys' voices."
Nicholas Anderson - BBC Music magazine - June 2020
“… James Gilchrist … is as bright, intelligent and articulate in communicating text as ever…”
Lindsay Kemp – Gramophone magazine – May 2020
“… King’s has outstanding singers as Evangelist (James Gilchrist) and Jesus (Matthew Rose)...David Allsopp’s singing of [Erbarme Dich] is also a highlight… “
Hugh Canning – The Sunday Times (Culture magazine) – 15 March 2020
