MOZART GREAT MASS IN C MINOR/JS BACH MAGNIFICAT IN D BWV 243<br />
12 <strong>Apr</strong>il <strong>2024</strong> 7.30pm - Malvern Theatres<br />
13 <strong>Apr</strong>il <strong>2024</strong> 7.30pm Collegiate Church of St <strong>Mar</strong>y, Warwick<br />
Demonstrating the huge influence of Bach and Handel who Mozart was studying<br />
at the time, his Great Mass in C minor is regarded by many to be one of his<br />
greatest works. Reflecting the pomp and solemnity which was characteristic at the<br />
time in Salzburg where it was first performed, it is a masterpiece in the realms of<br />
mass settings across the centuries.<br />
Bach’s incredible Magnificat for so many lovers of his choral<br />
music is his finest work, and without doubt the most dramatic<br />
and intensely beautiful of any setting of this text. As virtuosic<br />
and almost acrobatic in writing for the singers as it is tender<br />
and sublime in its beauty, it is simply Bach at his finest.<br />
