Few living composers communicate with the emotional directness of Sir James MacMillan, so the first UK performance of his Fiat Lux 鈥� premiered earlier this year in California - is a big event. First, though, MacMillan conducts works by P盲rt, Britten and Rautavaara 鈥� music that he has chosen to illuminate and complement his own creativity.
It鈥檚 easy to see where he鈥檚 coming from, as music of passionate mourning and turmoil leads up to the first UK performance of a work that US critics have praised for its 鈥渢hrilling exuberance鈥�. For MacMillan, 鈥渂eauty is at the heart of our Christian faith鈥� and Fiat Lux is sure to be profoundly shaped by his beliefs. But as ever, his inspiration transcends any one interpretation: expect a celebration both of tradition, and of radical renewal.
Live from the Barbican Hall, London. Presented by Martin Handley
