Oxford Bach Choir - Bruckner, Mozart and Mendelssohn March 13, 2004

Bruckner is normally associated with music for massive forces, but in his Mass in E Minor he only uses voices and a wind ensemble to produce a moving and magical tribute to the polyphony of the past, which is inescapably imbued with Bruckner?s own special brand of beauty. The programme will also include Mozart?s magnificent Serenade in C Minor for Wind Octet, and some fine motets by Mendelssohn which also look back to older music, but also prefigure the music of Brahms and Bruckner himself.
