There is some outstandingly characterized singing to be heard here.... A memorably and vitally conceived new account.International Record Review - Simon HeighesThis is the most radical reassessment of the St. Matthew Passion since Nikolaus Harnoncourt's pioneering period-instrument recording some 30 years ago. McCreesh's version may not be flawless, but to my ears it is a marvellous first attempt at recording the work with very small-scale forces -- in fact, it's a complete vindication of the approach.BBC Online - Graeme KayPadmore is now the leading British Evangelist of his generation, but all eight singers rise impeccably to the twin challenges of distinctive solo arias and blending as a chorus. The set as a whole exudes an entirely captivating intimacy: the moments of highest drama, paradoxically, are enhanced and not diminished by the absence of a big chorus.This is the most radical reassessment of the St. Matthew Passion since Nikolaus Harnoncourt's pioneering period-instrument recording some 30 years ago.
