Magdalena Consort/Peter Harvey. Bach: Cantata No 78; Brandenburg Concerto No 3.

Live from Tewkesbury Abbey, Petroc Trelawny presents the Magdalena Consort conducted by Peter Harvey in an all-Bach programme that features two cantatas and a Brandenburg Concerto.

Live from Tewkesbury Abbey, Tewkesbury

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

J.S. Bach's cantatas BWV147 "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" with its famous chorale "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring", and the more reflective yet equally glorious "Jesu, der du meine Seele", are testament both to Bach's personal faith and his fascination with the religiously significant number, three. The Magdalena Consort and director and baritone Peter Harvey complete their tribute to Bach's fascination with numbers with the Brandenburg Concerto no 3, scored for three violins, three violas and three cellos and the virtuosic motet "Lobet den Herrn".
