Bach's "Matthew Passion," and has been performed on several albums, including Theatre of Voices, conducted by Paul Hillier in 2008, and Los Angeles Master Chorale on the Cantaloupe label, Several albums of the work exist, including a performance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale on the Cantaloupe label in 2008, and it is considered one of the masterpieces of contemporary choral music. In re-recording the work for the Cantaloupe label, Lang says, "I wanted to record it in a smaller format so that you can hear each individual's breath (which is different from choral music).
