Guy Cutting (tenor)
Matthew Brook (bass)
Choir of the Age of Enlightenment
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
John Butt (conductor)
Choral music offers few loftier spiritual or artistic challenges than Bach鈥檚 Mass in B minor 鈥� but then, few living performers are better equipped to tackle it than Baroque music specialist and scholar John Butt, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. 鈥業f any piece of classical music can be considered universal, I think it鈥檚 the Mass in B minor,鈥� says Butt. 鈥業t goes down so well across a wide range of cultures.鈥� Five exceptional soloists (including counter-tenor Iestyn Davies and soprano Mary Bevan) join Butt and the OAE as they drive to the emotional core of this sublime music 鈥� and lay bare the passionate, profoundly devoted heart of the man who wrote it.
There will be no interval.
