St Matthew Passion
Regarded as “The Great Passion” by the Bach’s family, St Matthew Passion is not only a magnificent musical piece. It is the most elaborate work by J.S. Bach that requires a double orchestra, a double chorus, at least six soloists and a children’s choir. The Passion story, told by dramatic recitatives and exciting choruses, is the heart of the work while reflective commentaries illustrating Bach’s faith are expressed in different arias and chorales. As mentioned by Peter Sellars, the world renowned theatre director who recently ritualized St Matthew Passion, “it is a transformative ritual teaching across time and space, uniting disparate and dispirited communities.”

After nearly 10 years, this masterpiece is once again performed completely in Hong Kong by a dream cast with some of the most prominent musicians of the new generation. Come to this sacred music event of the year and be prepared to experience the overwhelming compassion generated by this pinnacle of all sacred works.

聖馬太受難曲
被巴赫家族稱為“The Great Passion” 的聖馬太受難曲,不僅是一首宏偉的樂章。它是巴赫最精心製作的作品,運用了兩個樂團、兩個合唱團,最少六個獨唱家和一個兒童合唱團。巴赫首先以戲劇性的宣 敍調和合唱,來敍述耶穌受難的故事,作為整個作品的核心;並將個人對信仰的理念,以不同的詠嘆調和讚美詩,作出詮譯及反思。正如世界著名的戲劇導演彼得塞 拉斯 (Peter Sellars) 所說:「聖馬太受難曲具有跨越時間和空間的轉化能力,能夠團結失落和沮喪的心靈。」

這首曠世鉅作 經過近十年時間,再一次由本港多名新一代傑出的音樂家,組成「夢幻組合」作足本演繹。齊來這個2010年的音樂盛會,經歷被譽為聖樂巔峰之作所帶來的震撼 及激情。
