INFORMATION
La Petite Bande, Sigiswald Kuijken
Magnificent and transparent, a recording of the famous masterpiece by J.S. Bach by La Petite Bande and Sigiswald Kuijken. The ensemble has a worldwide reputation of aiming for the most authentic sound possible. Again Kuijken and his group of musicians and vocalists have achieved this the most sublime way!
Sigiswald Kuijken knows the St. Matthew Passion through and through. With La Petite Bande he gave performances of the work all over the world. Twenty years ago La Petite Bande (at that time with conductor Gustav Leonhardt and Kuijken as concertmaster) made their first recording of the Passion. It was a recording with soloists, a chamberchoir and an orchestral composition which was adjusted to that. Since then Kuijken's vision on this masterpiece has changed very much. Ground-breaking musicological work of the last decades has brought him to a serious thin-out of his ensemble without the use of a conductor. There is not a real choir anymore, because the soloists perform also the choirparts. The boyschoir that is usually used in most performances of this Passion is replaced here by a single soprano voice!
Additionally, by using authentic instruments and the original way of playing them, both in interpretation and sound quality, La Petite Bande strives to revive baroque music as faithfully as possible without lapsing into rigid academics.

Dear Josh,
It is DXD/DSD. Hope that answers your question.

What is the recording resolution? E.g. Is this a 96 kHz 24 bit recording? Or 48 kHz 24 bit? Or something else? Thanks

Vorig jaar was ik bij een uitvoering van La Petite Bande in het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Nog nooit zo'n mooie Mattheüs gehoord als die avond. Was al een jaar opzoek naar een opname en hoop dat deze cd dezelfde is.

This Stereo / Multichannel Hybrid SACD can be played on any standard CD player.
Mul Tichannel06|03|2010 21:50
Is it correct that this SACD is stereo only and does not contain multichannel sound?

rare diepe ruimte en authenthiciteit betekent hier weer terug naar de vrouwenalt ipv counter....duidelijk een weg naar Golgotha maar wel een omweg in deze bij vlagen fraaie uitvoering.

Dear Dirmeikis,
No problem, we hope you will like the music!

My previous question was useless. Immediately after posting it, I saw the price and the basket icon appear, showing that the set is now available. Therefore I ordered it... Looking forward to receiving it.
Dirmeikis05|02|2010 10:41
This is great. When will it be released? The info might be somewhere on the site but I couldn't find it...
