Any suggested recordings of Bach's St. Matthew's Passion?
Has anyone heard the new Monteverde Ofeo conducted by Emmanuele Haim?

I still love the recording made by Harnoncourt in 1970 with an all-male choir. He has made two other recordings since, and the 1970 version now comes in for some heavy criticism. I still think it is pretty wonderful taken as a whole, though there are some arias I tend to skip over.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

I have Eugene Jochum with the Concertgebau of Amsterdam. The recording is Phillips (I don't have here the number).
I find this version very deep and "spiritual".

yes ... Eliott Gardner's recording with the English Baroque soloists et cetera is my favourite for this (and the St John Passion for that matter)

My favorite: the classic Hermann Scherchen recording made in 1953 for Westminster and recently reissued on CD for Millenium Classics.

One of my favorite pieces of music. I still prefer the first version I bought -- Karl Richter's with the Munich Bach choir and orchestra -- back in the 1960s. It has been reissued on CD.
