Lol!
Yes I adore the SMP as well, and I actually plan to go see it performed on good friday. I admit I like the fast version, I have the McCreesh version on CD,
which I really like because it is fast and all sung by a very small cast of soloists, which gives it a particularly dynamic quality imho.
It's a pity with the zombies, though. Maybe Bach simply didn't quite know how to fit zombies into his musical scheme of recitatives, arias, turbas and chorales. Maybe an extra-turbulent and draggingly slow turba with grunting sounds, closed by a fugue set to the words Brains! Brains. Brahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa, hahahahahaaaahaaahaaaaaaaa, hains! Brahahaha hahahahaa brahahaha haaaahaha Brahaha-hains instead of an amen fugue.
