The ensembles that took Bach’s cantatas to
14 countries in their Bach Pilgrimage of
2000 return to the Royal Albert Hall for
a Late Night Prom. The Easter Oratorio opens
with a Sinfonia that pitches a trio of trumpets
against consorts of woodwinds and strings, and a
poignant Adagio for solo oboe. Scored for similar
forces, the Ascension Oratorio features an alto aria
that mirrors the curves of the Agnus Dei from
Bach’s Mass in B minor. Sir John Eliot Gardiner,
70 this year, directs the internationally renowned
Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists.Tickets £18 - £24.
