John Nelson St. Matthew Passion – The journey
In July 2011, the Festival of Saint-Denis presented the great oratorio St. Matthew Passion by Bach conducted by John Nelson.
Louise Narboni’s cameras captured the concert in the Basilica of Saint-Denis and more specifically Nelson’s work sessions for the concert with the singers. The emotional intensity of the singers which emerges from these sessions together with the involvement of John Nelson make this "making of" an excellent introduction to the work.
