Utopia Orchestra & Choir / Teodor Currentzis – Bachs Matteüspassie

Teodor Currentzis conducts Bach's Matthäus-Passion with Utopia Orchestra and Choir. An intense and outspoken interpretation of a monumental work full of tension and contrast. Bach's Matthäus-Passion returns regularly at deSingel as one of the great monuments of the season, while Teodor Currentzis has proven in recent years to be a guarantor of iconic concerts. But together? That happens here for the first time. Together with his Utopia Orchestra and Choir, Currentzis now focuses on this passion. His interpretations are known for their uncompromising intensity, with razor-sharp rhythms, pronounced contrasts and a tension that never slackens. What happens when such an outspoken conductor immerses himself in a work that sits so deeply in collective memory is difficult to predict. Everything suggests that this Matthäus-Passion will develop into one of those evenings that will be talked about for a long time to come.
