If Sir Simon could only take one work with him to a desert island, it would be Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. According to the BRSO Chief Conductor, “there is no better way to start the new season than with this profound, very personal spiritual journey.” This music is closer to perfection than almost anything written before or since. Just think of the famous alto aria “Erbarme dich.” Rattle, the BRSO, and the Bavarian Radio Chorus have been waiting for this moment for three years. Fortunately, this is the same exquisite line-up of vocal soloists as the previously planned concert that had to be cancelled at short notice due to the pandemic, and which could only be watched via livestream. This line-up includes the British tenor Mark Padmore, one of the most charismatic Evangelists of our time. For the BRSO, it represents a most joyful reunion with a long-standing artistic companion and former Artist in Residence.
