    Bach Christmas Oratorio

    Mark Padmore - Tenor (Evangelist)
    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).
