Yorkshire Baroque Soloists
conducted by Peter Seymour
Bach’s great oratorio, arguably the greatest piece of all time, has become a regular part of our core repertoire. Joseph Cornwell and Stephen Varcoe are regular soloists with YBC and both are amongst the world’s greatest performers of Bach. Outstanding members of YBC sing the solos, as has become our fashion; the world-renowned members of Yorkshire Baroque Soloists offer more than mere accompaniment.
