For the St. Matthews Passion, this is considered one of the great recordings - directed by the great Philipp Herreweghe. Truly exquisite. I bought this on CD a long time ago and had it on repeat for the entire first month.

FWIW, it's very interesting to take the various recordings (or recordings of performances) Herreweghe did over the last 30 years, with various ensembles (though many with Collegium Vocale of course), and compare the interpretations (tempo, vocals, dynamics,...). Worth some time.

Do you have a particular favourite?

Thanks!
