About "St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 - Part Two : J.S. Bach: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 - Part Two: No. 54 Choral: "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden"" by Chicago Symphony Chorus
Bach's chorale 'O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden' is a pillar of grief. The Chicago Symphony Chorus intones the melody with stark, unadorned clarity, each harmony a step toward the cross. The emotional tension lies in its restraintâsorrow so deep it can only be whispered.
