Prom 43 - BBC Singers

Work:: Prom 43 (S5974)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: BBC Singers (T1979053225)

Estonian composer Arvo Pärt emerged on to the landscape of later-20th-century music after making a decisive break from his former modernist ways and building a new language from scratch, with the simplest musical elements. The pure, hypnotic atmosphere of his slowly shifting harmonies have won him a place among the key figures of so-called 'spiritual minimalism' – with a style that appears rooted in ancient religion while also sounding fresh and personal. Poised between the Lutheran and Catholic traditions, the austere yet serene St John Passion is sure to create a special aura in this ideal Late Night Prom setting. Finish time: approx. 23:30

Conductor	David Hill
Company	Endymion
Company	BBC Singers
Performer	Andrew Kennedy (Pilate)
Performer	Brindley Sherratt (Jesus)
Performer	Iain Farrington (organ)
