The monumental St. Matthew Passion recounts the dramatic story of the capture and crucifixion of Jesus Christ profoundly, lyrically, and contemplatively. Conducted by John Nelson, this concert was filmed in the Basilica Cathedral Saint-Denis, a massive piece of Gothic architecture that captures the drama of the music and vaults it to the heavens. The Schola Cantorum of Oxford and the Ma+®trise de Paris are joined on this journey by the Ensemble Orchestral de Paris.
The St. Matthew Passion is the third part of 'The Soli Deo Gloria Collection' . The concert features John Nelson leading the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, as well as two internationally acclaimed choirs: the Schola Cantorum of Oxford and the Maîtrise de Paris. Filmed twice with 7 HDTV cameras in the Basilica Cathedral Saint-Denis - a unique, monumental masterpiece of Gothic art. The Blu-ray includes the bonus 52 mins. documentary 'John Nelson's Saint Matthew Passion - The Journey' by Louise Narboni.
