Abstract
The performances of Bach’s St Matthew Passion in the Conservatoire Royal de Musique de Bruxelles in 1896 were a culminating point in the Brussels Bach revival which started 25 years previously under the Conservatoire director François-Auguste Gevaert (1828-1908). Besides the comprehensive press, archives and literature about this event, Gevaert’s handwritten score and orchestral material, as well as the published vocal score, give a detailed view about the performance practice of Bach’s music at the end of the 19th century. It also sheds a somewhat different light on Gevaert – being reputed for arranging masterpieces – and his vision on the authenticity issue.
