The Palau de la Música offers its traditional appointment with the recreation of the Passion of Jesus Christ in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, on this occasion And again the much-loved and admired passion of Saint Matthew. The excellent Pygmalion and the Escolania de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats, with the direction of master Raphaël Pichon, they will interpret this absolute masterpiece of the Baroque and of all times, what, in Gardiner's words “it would be difficult to improve as an essentially human drama, which includes immense struggle and challenge, betrayal and forgiveness, love and sacrifice, compassion and mercy". Definitely, an intense human drama rarely expressed in such a persuasive and deeply moving way, and a music that surrounds it with a mastery that truly amazes.
