To complement Bach’s Matthew Passion from this year’s Proms—always a moving event—here’s a reminder of some relevant posts:

Bach meets Li Manshan, Leipzig 2013.

• Bach—and Daoist ritual, with the fine perspectives of John Eliot Gardiner and Daniel Melamed on performance practice
• Calendrical rituals, also featuring Holy Week in Spain and the 3rd-moon Houtu pilgrimage in north China
• The Matthew Passion—staged, including versions by Jonathan Miller and Peter Sellars
• The John Passion:
  • 2017 Prom, with wise words from John Butt
  • 2024 Prom with Suzuki and BCJ, and fantasies of world-music Passions…

All this, and much more, under A Bach retrospective.
