St Matthew Passion

Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

The ultimate masterpiece about love, loss and comfort: music of timeless, universal eloquence.

Five stars: Jonathan Cohen's debut with us in 2021 garnered the highest praise in the Volkskrant. 'Christ's wounds for humanity were audible in violinistic whipping': under Cohen's direction, the orchestra in Handel's Messiah sounded with the agility of a Baroque ensemble, full, powerful and moving. We can expect the superlative this year when Cohen returns with Bach's St Matthew Passion.
