To complement Bach’s Matthew Passion from this year’s Proms—always a moving event (now on i-Player)—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, with wise words from John Butt.

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

For other Proms this season, see 1707, New British jazz, and Korngold. See also Proms tag.
