The double choir is the essential musical aspect on which Iván Fischer's interpretation of Bach's St. Matthew's Passion is based. Only by consistently seizing on that duality will all the complementary layers stand out as they should. He describes this essential fundamental aspect as follows: 'You can't do the St Matthew in an unreligious way. The only approach is from a deep, universally religious feeling.' Anyone the least bit familiar with Fischer knows that this won't simply be a repeat performance; he is sure to go even deeper.
