Bach - Matthaeus Passion - 02-03-04-05 - Tom Koopman et al

In this section Caiaphas plots to get Jesus killed, but the Sanhedrin say "Not during the feast or the people will riot".

Meanwhile a woman breaks her life savings of perfume and pours it on Jesus' head. The disciples complain about it, but Jesus defends her.

Bach gives us great crowd scenes contrasted with a calm self-controlled Jesus.
