Music from the Masses

on BBC One London

A series of four programmes for Easter exploring the great requiem masses.
Presented and conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes The words of the Latin requiem mass have been drawn together over seven centuries. Throughout their history they have inspired some of the most profound and dramatic of all musical works. Tonight's programme looks at the rich variety of expression with which composers from the Middle
Ages to the present day have responded to the challenge of the requiem, with excerpts from the works of BERLIOZ, BRAHMS, BRITTEN, FAURE, MOZART and VERDI.
Recorded at St John's, Smith Square, London with Helen Kucharek (soprano) Maddwyn Davies (tenor) David Wilson Johnson (baritone) and with BET Choirboy of the Year Daniel Ludford-Thomas (treble)
