Forming the centre-piece of a weekend dedicated to new music, MacMillan’s St Luke Passion proves that Bach’s influence remains strong to this day. The second of four planned Passion settings by Scotland’s greatest living composer, this major work unusually gives the voice of Jesus to a youth choir, thereby reflecting Christ’s otherness.
