"Gardiner's version of the St Matthew Passion brings an intense, dramatic reading which now makes a clear first choice, not just for period-performance devotees but for anyone not firmly set against the new authenticity. The result is an invigorating, intense telling of the story." *** Three Stars. Penguin Stereo Guide
