'Celebrated British choral group Tenebrae brings its trademark passion and precision to a dramatic programme of music, contrasting Bach’s iconic motets with sacred works by Sir James MacMillan.'

I was at the world premiere of this fascinating, riotous work and every time I listen to it I fall under its spell even more. Enjoy.

Glad to hear these excellent reflections again. How about a new series taking in #Bach, #Mozart, #Beethoven, #Brahms, #Britten & #Pärt? Oh, and #JamesMacMillan himself, one of our most distinguished contemporary church musicians?
