Description

Up for auction is a beautiful copy of the sought after UK pressing of Bach: St Matthew Passion by Otto Klemperer. The box is in excellent condition with tissue paper and all inserts in top condition. The five LP's all look unplayed with amazing shine and no sign of wear except for side 9 of the fifth LP which has a blemish that looks to be from the factory. It is not a scratch or scuff but almost looks like a sticky substance. I did not listen to or try to clean but it may clean up with a good cleaner. Low starting bid and no reserve.

The St Matthew Passion (German: Matthäus-Passion), BWV 244, is a Passion, a sacred oratorio written by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1727 for solo voices, double choir and double orchestra, with libretto by Picander (Christian Friedrich Henrici). It sets chapters 26 and 27 of the Gospel of Matthew (in the German translation of Martin Luther) to music, with interspersed chorales and arias. It is widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of classical sacred music. The original Latin title Passio Domini nostri J.C. secundum Evangelistam Matthæum translates to "The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the Evangelist Matthew".
