Thanks for writing on my blog, Robert! I'm sending this blog info on to a harpsicordist I know here in The Hague.
I just watched the St. Matthew Passion for the first time this last week performed by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Yannick Nezet-Seguin. One of my youth group kids (11 years old) was in the boys choir that was part of it. It was really impressive! I'm glad I got to see it.
