The Alex Stobbs Matthew Passion Project

The Telegraph ran an interview with Alex Stobbs on 7 September ahead of the publication of A Passion for Living on 17 September and the airing of his latest documentary in October.

Alex conducted his first professional concert, Bach's St Matthew Passion, in April 2009. You can find out more about the project elsewhere on this site. Andy told Telegraph interviewer Victoria Lambert why he sings and why he refuses to slow down.

On Sunday 5th April Alex Stobbs conducted the Bach St Matthew Passion at the Cadogan Hall. He was musically highly-charged and confidently in control. Players and singers immediately recognised his impeccable musicianship and knew they were in good hands. Musicians are inspired because he loves it so much; his conducting is entirely about the music and not about himself.

On the Wednesday before, forty-four members of the Rodolfus Choir had gathered to rehearse with him at Westminster School. He started the week a little nervously, but very soon got into his stride, and it was clear that he knew exactly what's what. Two orchestras and six soloists joined the choir at the Cadogan Hall on Saturday, and started to put together this complex three-hour work.

We're delighted to announce that A Boy Called Alex has been nominated for an award in the Single Documentary category at this year's BAFTAs!

The award ceremony takes place this year on 26 April.

Alex was interviewed on BBC Breakfast on the 9th February - unfortunately we can't find any clips online, but if you have one: please let us know.

He will also be interviewed in the near future on Classic FM Online and The Sunday Times magazine, among others. We will try and keep you posted!
