Choir & Orchestra
Harry Christophers conductor

The Sixteen’s concert in Bath Abbey is framed by Bach’s dramatic portrayal of man’s fight with the devil, and a Lutheran Mass featuring virtually no Lutheran material but made up of some of Bach’s favourite movements from his cantatas. In between we have two powerful works from Bach’s contemporary Gluck’s story of Orfeo descending into the underworld to rescue his wife Euridice. Beautiful and dramatic, this is Gluck’s masterpiece, and with the chorus to the fore it is the perfect vehicle for Harry Christopher’s peerless ensemble.
