Easter across Europe
Presented by Andrew McGregor.
We mark Palm Sunday on Radio 3 with a series of concerts from across Europe as part of the European Broadcasting Union鈥檚 Easter celebrations with sacred music written for Easter. The story of Christ鈥檚 Passion has inspired composers to write some of the most profound and beautiful music in the classical canon.
This year we start our journey in Vilnius in Lithuania, with a concert of Italian sacred pieces by Palestrina and Giovanni Gabrieli and contemporary composer Giovanni Bonato performed by Jauna Muzika, one of Lithuania鈥檚 most renowned choirs.
From there we hop across the Baltic to Denmark for a concert of French choral music culminating in Gabriel Faure鈥檚 profound and moving Requiem.
There鈥檚 a concert from the Sala Assunta, in the heart of the Vatican City, of Renaissance composers including Gesualdo, Victoria, Palestrina and Monteverdi.
The Bavarian Radio Chorus perform choral music by Brahms and Mahler, together with a fine selection of contemporary composers, and the evening ends with a rare performance of Louis Spohr鈥檚 retelling of the Passion story in his oratorio 鈥楧es Heilands letzte Stunden鈥� (The Saviour's Last Hours) from Bremen.
