BBC Singers at the Proms and beyond

Available for 45 days

In a concert recorded at the BBC Proms in Gateshead last month, the North East young people’s choir Voices of the River’s Edge and the BBC Singers join forces under the baton of conductor Sofi Jeannin to perform a luminous and inspiring programme of contemporary choral music including works by James MacMillan, Elaine Hagenberg and Eriks Esenvalds. Presented by Elizabeth Alker and recorded on 25 July 2025 at the Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead. Sir James MacMillan: O Radiant Dawn Dan Forrest : Good night, dear heart Jussi Chydenius: Deep in the night Frank Ticheli: Earth song Elaine Hagenberg: Alleluia Trad. arr Elizabeth Poston: The Water of Tyne Eriks Esenvalds: Only in sleep Voices of the River’s Edge BBC Singers Sofi Jeannin (conductor) c.20.36 And following the Prom, 'Light and Loss', a special concert by the BBC Singers and curated and conducted by award-winning German conductor Alexander Lüken. At the heart of the programme are sublime sacred works by Brahms and Mahler. These are contrasted with a contemporary choral cycle by Stefan Heucke that sets texts from a range of writers from Nietzsche to the German-Swedish poet and playwright Nelly Sachs. A lush late-Romantic requiem by Sigfrid Karg-Elert and a tranquil work by Wilhelm Berger transporting us to a chapel on a beach completes this distinctive programme. Presented by Georgia Mann and recorded at St Paul’s Knightsbridge, London on 15 January 2026. Stefan Heucke: Der Verborgene Gott Brahms: Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen? Karg-Elert: Requiem aeternam Mahler arr. Gottwalt: Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen Berger: Die Capelle am Strande BBC Singers Alexander Lüken (conductor)
