Petroc Trelawny

Saturday 24 December 2005 19:00-22:00 (Radio 3)

Sir Roger Norrington talks to Petroc Trelawny about Bach's magnificent last choral work, the Mass in Bm, and introduces the performance of the work he directed at the Proms in July, 2000, commemorating the 250th anniversary of Bach's death.

The Bm Mass - a cornerstone of Western music - gloriously displays what one of Bach's sons called his 'most skilled artistry'. 'How strange, how new, how expressive, how beautiful.'
