大象传媒

The The music of J S Bach and three of his greatest 19th-century admirers comes together in this 大象传媒 Singers concert, recorded earlier this week at St Giles' Church in London's Barbican. With two of Bach's own motets for choir framing the programme, the concert includes psalms, prayers and part of the Sermon on the Mount, in settings for voices by Mendelssohn, Brahms and Liszt. And alongside the choral works, Bach's own instrument is represented in Franz Liszt's great instrumental tribute to his baroque forebear, composed to inaugurate the new organ in Merseburg Cathedral in 1856, as well a set of distinctly Bach-like variations on a chorale by Felix Mendelssohn. The 大象传媒 Singers are conducted by their Chief Conductor, David Hill, with Iain Farrington playing the organ.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
