JOHN TAVENER

Beyond the Veil

Many were touched by the spiritual, almost hypnotic calm of this timeless music.This followed on from the success of his stunning cello concerto The Protecting Veil, for which

he received the 1992 Gramophone Award. Melvyn Bragg talks to Tavener about his early influences, his life in 1960’s ‘swinging London’, and the religious inspiration behind his works. He converted to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977, feeling that it offered the only way forward. He believes his music is direct and spontaneous inspiration from God.

The programme was filmed in England and in Greece, where Tavener spends time with his family. This DVD presentation is based on the acclaimed LWT South Bank Show, but has been augmented to include full performances of several works including: Song for Athene, ‘Spit in my Face’ from Three Holy Sonnets of John Donne, Annunciation, The Protecting Veil (1st movement), Akathist of Thanksgiving,‘The Bless Duet’ from Mary of Egypt, As One Who Has Slept, Agraphon
