Programme

Overview

Francesco Corti’s insights into Johann Sebastian Bach’s music rise from his deep feeling for its drama and transcendent spiritual power. He leads The English Concert and an outstanding solo team in one of the most dramatic of all Bach’s works, a searing portrayal of Christ’s trial and crucifixion.
