BBC Proms 1996

on BBC Radio 3

Two of this year's Proms themes meet as the creation is followed by paeans of praise in a setting of the Te Deum. Rameau's overture shows the whole of the process of creation, and Rebel depicts chaos with an astonishing opening chord. Then the first of this season's settings of the ancient liturgical text in one of Rameau's grandest motets - at the summit of a sumptuous and thrilling tradition of French Baroque choral music.
From the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Ciaron McFadden and Guillemette Laurens (sopranos), Simon Berridge and Rodrigo del Pozo (haute-contres), Andrew King and Nicholas Robertson (tenors), Nicolas Cavallier and Nicolas Riveng (basses), St James's Singers and Baroque Players, conductor Ivor Bolton
