David Hill conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Bach Choir, live from the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge, in music for Good Friday by Wagner and Poulenc. The main work is Duruflé's 1947 Requiem, which draws on Gregorian plainchant, something he was very familiar with after his early musical training at the cathedral in Rouen.

Presented by Ian Skelly.
