DVD ('Rediscovering the Saint Matthew Passion' - A Film by Sarah Blum).
It has haunted René Jacobs since childhood: first as a boy soprano in
Ghent, then as a countertenor, he has constantly frequented the supreme
masterpiece that is the 'St Matthew Passion'. Jacobs uses the layout of
the Good Friday Vesper service from Bach's time, with choirs front and
back, rather than side-by-side. He also gives us extra soloists to
complete the bi-choral effect. For Bach, the two halves were 28 metres
apart. At that distance, coordination difficulties begin to appear
between the speed of light, and the speed of sound, and we cannot
determine how Bach dealt with this problem. However the wonders of SACD
multichannel surround sound can at last give an impression of what Bach
intended for St Thomas’ Church in Leipzig. |
