Karl Richter - Bach: St Matthew Passion: "Wer hat dich so geschlagen"

We celebrate Karl Richter on the 100th anniversary of his birth on 15 October 1926. Watch the renowned maestro conduct excerpts from two consecutive sections of his 1971 filmed account of Bach’s 'St Matthew Passion'. Peter Schreier as the Evangelist begins with an excerpt from the recitative "Da speieten sie aus in sein Angesicht" (Pt. 2: No. 43), followed by the Münchner Bach-Chor, Die Münchner Chorbuben and the Münchner Bach-Orchester performing an excerpt from the famous chorus "Wer hat dich so geschlagen" (Pt. 2: No. 44). Watch the full concert on our streaming service STAGE+: https://www.stage-plus.com/video/vod_concert_APNM8GRFDPHMASJKBSPJAD8 In this filmed performance from 1971 Karl Richter conducts Bach's 'St Matthew Passion' with two choruses, his Munich Bach-Orchestra and outstanding soloists including Peter Schreier (Evangelist), Ernst Gerold Schramm (Jesus), Siegmund Nimsgern (Judas). For the arresting stage setting, director Hugo Käch took the cross as his main motif, using a gigantic cross above the performers to suggest menace and oppression as well as protection, while Richter's style encapsulates the performance practice of the time, balancing an unerring seriousness of purpose with a search for a new rhythmic flexibility.
