It wasn’t until the performance of an abridged version under the baton of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in the year 1829 that a veritable Bach renaissance began – and the St Matthew Passion secured its rightful place in concert programs. Today, the 1736 edition is seen as the definitive version.

The autograph survives to this day and is one of Bach’s most precious original scores.

I sang in the chorus of Exultate's production of this passion (in English). Very moving. It's Bach, so the story is woven into the music, itself.
