Musical history isn’t always what you think. Today, Bach’s St Matthew Passion is revered as one of the greatest choral works ever composed – a mighty, profoundly moving expression of a shared humanity. But for over a century it was nearly forgotten, until the 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn brought it out of the shadows in 1829. Tonight, Andrew Manze and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir recreate that game-changing moment, using Mendelssohn’s own version of the St Matthew Passion to throw a revealing new light on a timeless classic.
