Bach Concerto in D minor (BWV 1052)

Tatyana Nikolaeva, who has been described as "one of the few living pianists able to illuminate the abstract spirituality of Bach", makes her Proms debut with this work.

7.55 A Child for All Time?
Michael Oliver investigates the enduring appeal of Tippett's oratorio. Inspired by prewar German repression of the Jews, and written during the most fearful days of the Second World War, it is modelled both on the Bach Passions and on Handel's Messiah, and stands as an icon of the age: a moving and compassionate plea for all suffering humanity, expressed through the music of searing emotional intensity.
