In its scale and gravitas, Otto Klemperer's interpretation of the St Matthew Passion draws on the Bach performance style that developed in the 19th century; but its clarity, its underlying energy, and its superb array of soloists - singers with impeccable operatic credentials - also ensure that full justice is done to the drama of Bach's sublime retelling of the Gospel story.
