Palm Sunday today so it has to be the Matthew Passion (call me old fashioned, I can take it). Despite spending most of today freezing at the side of a football pitch I managed to squeeze in two versions in their entirety, result!
First John Butt and the Dunedin Consort’s scintillating version on Linn (great SQ)…
Dunedin Consort & Players, Butt “Bach: Matthew Passion” 2008, Qobuz 24/88.2
…and then John Eliot Gardiner’s classic…
English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, Gardiner “Bach: St. Matthew Passion” 1989, Qobuz 16/44.1
a statement in humanity…I love this record
Narciso Yepes, National Orchestra of Spain: Rodrigo Concerto for guitar, Falla Nights Gardens of Spain

Haven’t been in front of my system for weeks, but I changed that today with something new to me.
Love Narciso Yepes. Have you tried this one?
