Mendelssohn's grandmother hosted a salon that championed Bach's music, his father collected Bach manuscripts, so it is no surprise that Felix should share their adoration and become involved in the modern revival of the great JSB's music. Tonight's concert takes us back to the Berlin of March 1829, when Mendelssohn conducted the forces of the Singakademie in a performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion, a performance that played a major role in re-establishing Bach's music in the concert repertoire.
