Music reviews of Bach: St. Matthew Passion

Music Review: The best of the baroque era!
Rating: 5 Stars

Lutheran tradition of setting the passion narrative to music reached its peak in J. S. Bach's "Saint Matthew's Passion". It recounts biblical events and tries to apply their lessons to life. This work is the most famous of Bach's five passions and it regularly alternates between different time frames. The central narrative, taken from the Gospel of Saint Matthew 26-27, but also based on several texts written by C. F. Henrici (Picander), a librettist and close friend of the composer himself, takes place in biblical times. An evangelist narrates the story of Jesus's arrest, trial and crucifixion, with different solo singers performing the parts of Jesus, Judas, Pilates, High Priests, Disciples, roman soldiers and the crowd.

Another set of musical pieces regularly takes us out of the biblical time frame and into modern times with arias and duets. In these pieces, individuals contemplate the implications of biblical events for modern believers.

This work was meant for use as part of church services, especially Good Friday Vespers. It is sometimes compared to an opera and sometimes to a sermon. "Saint Matthew's Passion" represents the culmination of lutheran tradition of liturgical passions and it certainly demonstrates the height of Bach's compositional mastery and the profundity of his musical expression. With this massive work, Bach claimed his throne as a genius and master of polyphonic music. He optimally uses all musical means available to him at the time: widely diverse singing voices and instrumental sonorities. Generally, the chorus express the crowd's feelings, while the chorals symbolize the christian community. Every character has his/her particular musical style in the Passion. The evangelist carries the actions forward in the form of recitative secco, accompanied by continuo alone, merely recounting events. Jesus speaks to his disciples and to Pilates in a form between recitative and aria.

My personal favorite parts: "Erbarme dich, Mein Gott" (Lord, have mercy!") aria, accompanied by a somewhat wayward baroque violin, and of course, the tragic, triumphant chorus finale "Wir setzen uns mit tränen nieder" ("We sit down with tears in our eyes"), one of the most beautiful and powerful things a christian mind has ever created!
