REVIEWED: B Minor Mass
By Marina Carnwath Bach’s B Minor Mass is a notoriously difficult work to perform. The intricate parts involved for all choral ranges are so complicated that they seem better suited to string performers, rather than voice. Tom Wilkinson’s St Salvatore’s Chapel Choir and the professional, Grammy award winning, Fitzwilliam Quartet were joined on Sunday night […]
REVIEWED: SAND Scratch Night
