Chorales from King's

Live at the organ of the chapel of King's College, Cambridge, Daniel Hyde performs music from four centuries including Bach, Mendelssohn, Brahms Elgar, Wammes and Matthew Martin.

Live from the chapel of King's College, Cambridge, Daniel Hyde performs an unmissable, wide-ranging organ recital in a programme spanning four centuries with a pair Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale preludes at its heart.

Paying hommage to Bach from the 19th Century are Brahms, Schumann and Mendelssohn; Matthew Martin responds from the 21st. Past and present rub shoulders again when Handel is followed by the minimalist Dutch composer Ad Wammes, and writing in 1930, Belgian organist and composer Joseph Jongen takes inspiration from Liszt in his Sonata Eroïca: a thrilling tour-de-force that reaches a truly heroic conclusion.

Presented by Martin Handley.
