Description:

[Classical DVD Masterpieces Selection 2021] Opera, Ballet, and Classical Music at Home! The second DVD campaign with the lowest price ever! Carl Richter, known as the "Apostle of Bach," is especially famous for his 1958 recording of the Matthew Passion. Always aiming high, he re-recorded it in 1979, two years before his death, and this video was recorded in 1971. This is a rare opportunity to see Richter conducting Matthew with sincerity. The huge set of crosses suspended from the ceiling is also impressive.
