This rendition of one of the German composer's most moving compositions is due to open the festival at Bath Abbey.

Soloists Mhairi Lawson, Clare Wilkinson, James Oxley and Henry Waddington are also set to bring this unforgettable work to life.

The Bach Festival will run until October 23rd, with many other performances taking place over the seven days.

Organist David Briggs is scheduled to present a lunchtime concert at Bath Abbey on October 22nd, when he will aim to demonstrate the composer's influence on subsequent generations.
