Description
Sir Simon Rattle left no doubt: for him, the performance of the St. Matthew Passion, which he realized with the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Rundfunkchor Berlin in 2010, was “the most important thing we have ever done here”. Critics around the world agreed with him. They praised the outstanding musical interpretation by the soloists, choir and orchestra as well as the semi-staged performance by director Peter Sellars. However, although he brings powerful images to the stage, the dramatic effect is by no means the main focus. “It’s not theater”, says Sellars, ‘it’s a prayer, a meditation’.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Making this tangible is the real aim of this haunting performance.
The edition is equipped with both a DVD and a Blu-ray version and thus enables playback on all standard video players. In addition, there is an exclusive presentation with a linen cover, extensive booklet and numerous photos. The bonus material includes a conversation with Peter Sellars and Simon Halsey as well as a voucher for the Berlin Philharmonic’s Digital Concert Hall.
