Bach's motets feel like a summing-up of his craft - in their poise, their theological nous, and their absolute mastery of counterpoint, that rarified language of interlocking musical lines. In this programme, two of Bach's mighty motets sit alongside music inspired by Bach's contrapuntal wizardry, from Brahms in the 19th century, to Kenneth Leighton and Villa Lobos in the 20th, not to mention Glenn Gould's own witty tribute to the fugue!Programme:J. S. Bach Komm, Jesu, Komm and Singet dem Herrn
Heitor Villa-Lobos Bachianas Brasileiras No. 9And works by Schutz, Leighton and Glenn Gould.Musical Director: James Potter
