Sara Mohr-Pietsch's weekly mix of unmissable choral singing takes in some Renaissance classics, Schubert, Berlioz, Poulenc and John Tavener.

This week Sara Mohr-Pietsch's pick of unmissable choral music includes a Renaissance classic by Gesualdo, Schubert arranged for choir with piano accompaniment, a stirring chorus from Mendelssohn's Elijah, and Poulenc's deeply moving Litanies Γ  la vierge noire, written after the tragic loss of a close friend in a road accident and a visit to the shrine of Our Lady at Rocamadour.
