The Bach Choir: Belshazzar’s Feast
Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, , London , SE1 8XX
Description
The Bach Choir and the Philharmonia Orchestra join forces for an evening of British music full of gripping stories and stunning landscapes.
Walton invokes a huge orchestra, eight-part choir, organ, and two brass bands to transport us to the fabulously wealthy and decadent city of Babylon, where we witness the downfall of its tyrannical ruler. This thunderous ensemble gives way to a solo baritone, accompanied by eerie, whispering percussion, to describe the chilling moment when Belshazzar is accused by a disembodied hand writing on the wall – yes, this is the story that gave us the phrase ‘the writing’s on the wall’.
