| Performance Notes | Bachs much-loved Magnificat, bright with fanfares and lively with dance rhythms, is paired with the composers Mass in G minor in this Late Night Prom by the BBC Singers and the Academy of Ancient Music. Though sometimes overlooked, Bachs Lutheran Masses are a treasure-trove of melody, borrowing their themes from the best of Bachs own cantatas. Completing the programme is the Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, with its muscular textures and brilliant brass and wind colours.
There will be no interval.
