Description:

Arnoncourt's third true recording of "Matthew," recorded in 2000, is re-released on imported vinylFollowing the monumental 1970 recording of old instrumental music and the 1985 recording, which Arnoncourt "sealed" for CD release, this is the third true recording of "Matthew," recorded in 2000. Star singers and young up-and-coming singers such as Prégardien, Gernet, and Schaeffer are generously featured in this recording. The soloists' abilities are brought out to their fullest, and the performance is full of natural musical flow and softness like a faint glimmer of light. This is a definitive recording of a master who has been in dialogue with Bach for many years. The CD comes in a standard plastic case. The booklet contains only a brief commentary (in European languages only) and does not include a bilingual translation of the lyrics. Warner Music Japan
