The soloists from the choir of Trinity College Cambridge were particularly brilliant in this performance of JS Bach’s herculean work
The Trinity College Choir’s bright freshness of sound provided an ideal backdrop for the orchestra’s chameleon changes of colour With an aging and rapidly dwindling army of worshipers, Anglican churches desperately need a new role. For many, the pandemic offered an ideal opportunity to grow their congregation, by turning themselves into food banks and soup kitchens. The other route to salvation has been for their buildings to be turned into concert halls.
For over 200 years, the building served its parish. In 1742, it was damaged by fire; in 1773 it was struck by lightning; then, in 1941, it took a direct hit by an incendiary bomb – for 20 years the ruin lay open to the skies. Then, sold as scrap, it was converted into the superb concert space it is now.
At Christmas, it comes into its own, with top vocal ensembles all vying for a slot. For Trinity College Choir, the agenda was JS Bach’s, a herculean work whose emergence may strike contemporary listeners as strange. For rather than being composed, it was actually compiled from the composer’s favourite hits – that being his way of ensuring his music a longer life.
