J S Bach at Christmas
- Date
- Sunday 7 December 2014, 3.00pm - 5.00pm
Leeds Baroque Choir and Orchestra directored by Peter Holman
The perfect start to your Christmas preparations - a programme of choral music including Nun komm der Heiden Heiland BWV61 (composed almost 300 years ago to the day on 2 December 1714), the Sanctus in D major BWV238 (composed for Christmas Day 1723) and Ehre sei dir, Gott from the Christmas Oratorio (composed for 2 January 1735)
"Another superb concert from Leeds Baroque Choir and Orchestra yesterday at Saltaire. ... A veritable musical feast, ... beautifully played and setting the scene for the soloists to perform some tricky vocal gymnastics, topped off with soprano 'magic' from Sarah Potter ... a well received concert, crowned by a grand and well deserved ovation".
