Johann Sebastian Bach: St Matthew Passion - Academy of Ancient Music, Laurence Cummings at Barbican Hall (Photo: Academy of Ancient Music)Johann Sebastian Bach: St Matthew Passion; Anna Dennis, Tim Mead, Nicholas Mulroy, George Humphreys, Mhairi Lawson, Magid El-Bushra, Paul Hopwood, Rodney Earl Clarke, Academy of Ancient Music, Laurence Cummings; Barbican HallReviewed 29 March 2024 (Good Friday)Just eight soloists and 28 instrumentalists create a sense of intimacy yet profound communication, filling the hall in a way that made the whole a moving experience.Some of Johann Sebastian Bach's masterworks from the 1730s and 1740s, such as the Mass in B minor and the Art of Fugue, not only have no apparent performance tradition from Bach's time but also leave us uncertain as to the exact performance forces that Bach envisaged.

[…] only exceptional musicianship but also the latest academic research into the performance practices of the early 1600's.This was an evening filled with inspired solo contributions, in which practically every musician on (and around, and behind) the stage had their moments in the spotlight, whether in the sacred songs and duets, or within the more complex scoring of the psalm settings and the glorious closing Magnificat. Particularly striking was the supple, yearning voice of tenor Nicholas Mulroy, who delivered the aria Nigra Sum with limpid beauty and theatrical vocalisation, and a gift for lifting from a quasi-parlando into soaring lyricism. Equally ravishing and sensual was the pairing of Julia Doyle and Clara Hendrick, whose vocal interplay was inspired, seeming almost to melt together at points, before spiralling off in sequential cascades delivered with casual perfection of intonation and ensemble.
