Has this choir passed me by in recent years?

This doesn't look very appetising CE?

A Bach Cantata sung by a top notch choir - sounds appetising to me

BTW - I hear they are premiering their new Evening Service by Matthew Martin shortly. Look out for it on their web page!

[ardcarp]

..and nowt wrong wi' a bit o' plainsong neither.

[BBMmk2]

I'm not complaining about the plainsong!

[orbis factor]

I'm not complaining about the plainsong!

So what's the prob?

[ardcarp]

I guess BBM would really like some stirring Stanford, sumptuous Sumsion, noble...er...Noble. And why not? Maybe vivacious Vivaldi isn't his cup of tea .I've no idea what to expect either, but I look forward to finding out.

[orbis factor]

Clever choice of voluntary given this particular cantata

[DracoM]

It's not exactly ur-repertoire for John's, is it? Or at least, not what one usually associates with them. And Nun Danket doesn't exactly sing itself. So, as ardcarp suggests, it's going to be a revealing last half hour.

Revealing in what sense?

[DracoM]

[a] Showing them tackling a repertoire by which they are not normally known thus demonstrating other interpretative skills.
[b] We tend not to hear very often too many such boy-led Oxbridge choirs in big-scale Bach, live and in a liturgical setting.

Can't wait for the critiques - some of which I'm sure have been drafted already.
