Helmuth Rilling, artistic director and conductor of the Oregon Bach Festival, delivers the final of four lectures exploring in-depth J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Rilling's insights into the architecture, symbolism, and intent of Bach's masterwork are illustrated through musical examples performed by the Festival chorus, orchestra, and soloists. Part 4 gives examples of Bach's use of symbolism in his setting of the text.
