Modern Instruments, Moderate Tempos, Fine Performances

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Recorded in 1968, Woldike's St. Matthew Passion is a performance very much of its' time, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The Vanguard recording is good but not great; the singers and chorus are forwardly placed relative to the orchestra...more so than suits my taste. However, the singing is very good and the orchestral work is even better. Woldike's tempos are moderate, not nearly as slow as Klemperer and not nearly as fast as, say, Max. Well done on all counts and for those who love this Passion, a version you can return to comfortably time after time."
