Notes & Reviews:
BBC Music Magazine
Plushly upholstered and 30 minutes longer than many today, Mnnchinger's St Matthew is a period piece, but a treasurable one.
Elly Ameling [is] always sweet-toned and sensitive and Peter Pears outstanding as the Evangelist in St. Matthew Passion. Mnnchinger's [... ] direct and responsive reading makes a refreshing impact when the choral singing is so impressive and the sound so vivid." Gramophone Magazine
