4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, but not for puritans, 14 Jan 2004
Being a music scholar, I would have shunned a Karajan recording of any Bach-piece and have gone for a period performance instead. I bought Gardiner's recording 2 years ago and marvelled at the wonderful phrasing and the insight into performance technique of that particular performance. Then my girlfriend gave me this one. It is a different weight class altoghether. Although one would say that the orchestra is too large and indeed the choir as well, the sound is too heavy and the phrasing is nowhere near modern day baroque standards :-). But Karajan's concern is mainly with the text of the work. You can't help to be moved from the opening chorus and all the way to the end. The soloists are brilliant as well. Peter Schreier offers much drama and suspense as the Evangelist and I could think of a better singer for the part of Jesus than Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Actually it's only Walter Berry who's a bit off. I find him a bit wobbly and unprecise in the bass arias.
While this probably should be your only St. Matthew Passion, it makes a brilliant second. It's not period performance, but it's Easter drama all the way...

5.0 out of 5 stars Try a different view..., 22 May 2008
By Mr.Woods (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
Definitely not one for the bloodless muesli-munching Bach Taliban!
OK, the choir isn't the absolute best in the world (bass-lines sometimes disappear, especially when the choir splits into two). But at their best they're very good....the cry of "Barrabam!" is a shocking as it should be, sounding almost like something out of Penderecki's St. Luke Passion.
I agree totally with the previous reviewer, it's the drama here that grips you from the first bar to the last, Karajan, Schreier and Fischer-Dieskau carrying the narrative forward unerringly and movingly, and how wonderful to hear Gundula Janowitz's ethereal tones in the arias....much preferable to some voiceless early-music soprano squeaking away.
OK, this version not for everyone, but it demands to be heard!
