Helen-Jane Howells - Soprano
Sebastian Field - Countertenor
Ashley Riches - Bass
Bristol Choral Society
Corelli Orchestra
Adrian Partington - Conductor
Bach’s Nativity-to-Epiphany ‘Oratorium Tempore
Nativitatis Christi’ must rank as one of the most exuberant
Christmas presents ever unwrapped - a sacred seasonal stocking
stuffed with spine-tingling choruses, heartfelt arias and
bewitching story-telling - topped and tailed by some of the most
jubilant music Bach was to pen. This performance will feature
parts 1, 2, 3 & 6 (sung in German).
The role of the Evangelist is to be sung by one of the greatest
Evangelists of our time, the incomparable Mark Padmore.
‘Padmore’s great gift ... is to sing from the
soul’ says The Evening Standard; ‘Mark Padmore is just
about the finest Bach tenor in the business’ (Sunday
Telegraph).
