Bach: Passion Oratorio - Il Gardellino Ensemble

As the leader of the Il Gardellino ensemble, harpsichordist Alexander Grychtolik performs and conducts Bach’s “Passion Oratorio,” a project that had been abandoned by the cantor. Based on the libretto written by the poet Picander, the musician conducted extensive research to reconstruct the score, parts of which were later incorporated into the “St. Matthew Passion.”
