Set List'Mass', Bernstein
Performance NotesLess a religious work than a theatrical happening, Bernstein’s Mass receives its first complete Proms performance, conducted by one of its most ardent champions, and supported by a spectrum of talented Welsh children and adult musicians. Using a mix of highbrow and vernacular styles, Bernstein created a rich, quintessentially American score that has recently begun to emerge as a modern classic.

There was no interval.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and filmed for BBC Four television.
