When this recording of Bach's St. Matthew Passion was made in May 2005, Helmut Müller-Brühl had been leading the Cologne Chamber Orchestra for 41 years. He led them first on modern instruments from 1964 until 1976, then switched them to period instruments, then switched them back again to modern instruments in 1987. The result is not schizophrenic but rather a wonderful combination of the brilliant color and glowing warmth of modern instruments blended with the historically informed performance practices of period instruments. The same could well be said of Müller-Brühl's approach to Bach's sacred masterpiece. A trained philosopher and theologian as well as a musician, his St. Matthew Passion skillfully combines religious rigor with musical drama, creating a performance that is both a clear articulation of the text and an overwhelming narrative. His soloists are all fine musicians, but they are better at acting and best at enunciating the words clearly and expressively.

The troubadours were the 12th & 13th century Occitanian singer-songwriters whose poetry inspired Europe. They were also part of a unique culture that was suppressed after the wars of the Albigensian Crusade. The troubadours thereafter dispersed, but continued to write and poetically inspire — even their victors (the French). Although they are most famously about love, Troubadour lyrics therefore also explore political and religious themes; often tragic, they also sometimes use humour and satire. This recording with ensemble Belladonna reflects all of these various troubadour styles and themes.
