When Sir John Eliot Gardiner, released his first recording of Bach's St Matthew Passion in 1989, it was considered a milestone in style and interpretation and remains so to this day - with his approach to the work as celebrated as his first-class soloists: his great Monteverdi Choir and the splendid Baroque Soloists. Now available on vinyl for the first time since the original release, pressed on 180-gram vinyl taken from the original sources.
