Johann Sebastian Bach's Matthäus-Passion deeply moves its listeners like few other compositions, filled with both sorrow and comfort. Bach likely first performed this work in 1727 during the Good Friday Vespers at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Today, the Passion holds a special place in Bach's oeuvre, serving as an essential precursor to the Easter festivities for both Christians and classical music enthusiasts.
