Van Veldhoven on Bach St Matthew Passion BWV 244 (Rhetoric) | Netherlands Bach Society

"It's odd, but ideally, listeners shouldn't know anything about rhetoric." Conductor Jos van Veldhoven explains how rhetoric is the fundament of Bach's vocal compositions, as can be heard in the St Matthew Passion, which he performed with the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 16th and 19th 2014 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden.
