Yesterday I heard a St. Matthew Pasion that knocked me out.  It's on
Harmonia Mundi (and a copy of it will be mine, mine, mine very soon!)

The counter-tenor was Andreas Scholl.  I had never heard him before.  He
is absolutely top drawer.  Terrific pitch, wonderful expression, perfect
phrasing.

Does anyone else know him? Have other works to recommend? I did an internet
search and I'm going to get his collection of Bach arias, too.

The entire Passion was fine.  Conducted by Herreweghe.  Highly recommended!
