Bach: Passion Oratorio - Il Gardellino Ensemble (2026)

Bach : Oratorio de la Passion Ensemble Il Gardellino

Step into the world of Baroque rediscovery as harpsichordist Alexander Grychtolik—both conductor and lead musician of the Il Gardellino ensemble—brings new life to Bach’s abandoned “Passion Oratorio.” This long-lost project, once shelved by the great cantor himself, has been painstakingly rebuilt through Grychtolik’s deep scholarly research, drawing from the original libretto by poet Picander. Notably, fragments of this resurrected score later found their way into the immortal "St. Matthew Passion," making this performance a thrilling prelude to one of music history’s greatest masterpieces.
