Last year the city of Jerusalem celebrated 3,000 years of history by commissioning a work from the Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. He took as his inspiration the famous gates of the City of David - including the Golden Gate, expected to open only at the coming of the Messiah. Penderecki's radiant setting of texts from the Psalms of David was given its first performance in January. Presented by Jeremy Summerly.
