...expansive St. Matthew Passion, has an eerie, sonorous sound that plays off of soft, massive murmurs braced against loud declarations by the chorus. The dramatic moments are based on a timing which The Boston Cecilia hits with ease: the narrator will call, "Sie aber sprachen," and the chorus will resound with the answer, "Jesum von Nazareth."

The prodigal and the faithful son, the favorite and the outcast, the firstborn and the younger are characters as old as the Bible that resound in every family today. And here, with surprising pangs of recognition, are variations on themes that began with Cain and Abel...
