Edit2: Another Bach St Matthews Passion, this one from Budapest, with René Jacobs, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, K.Hammarström, Saturday 15/Apr at 1730GMT , 1830 London, 1930 CET, 1330 EST.
In addition, there’s this one (video) from München on 12/April/2017 with Concerto Köln and Karina Gauvin. I quite like the sound of this more than the one from Rotterdam, but I think it’s the difference between having a baroque (here) versus modern (Rotterdam) orchestra? Also, this is quite a tighter group than what N. Stutzmann has. I found the sound there a bit “diffused” and some of the musical phrasing by the soloists “blurry”. It could just be what i’m “used” to hear, but i quite like the version from Munich. The “evangelist” and “Jesus” were quite focused in sound.

Edit: for an informed note, please refer to Anik’s live experience of Vivaldi’s work in the form of a live concert. That concert resulted in a cd, which is also available on yt (very easily searchable by the work’s title.)

She’s at Opera du Rhin now singing in Cavalli’s La Calisto.. so either she’s jetting over or this is likely a rebroadcast? ahh, ok, no no, Calisto won’t start until 26/apr, so this should be a live concert, i think.)
