Proms Intro: Bach

Sara Mohr-Pietsch discusses treatments of Bach's music by other writers of music with conductor Andrew Litton and composers Tarik O'Regan and Alissa Firsova.

The idea of performing Bach transcriptions is highly appealing to tonight's conductor Andrew Litton. In this Proms Intro for Bach Day, Sara Mohr-Pietsch asks him what makes a good transcription and why Bach's music has been re-imagined by so many other composers. Two young UK-based composers have reworked Bach themselves for this concert, and they give their insights into the musical process.
