Kristjan Jarvi conducted Australian orchestras in 2008 on a triumphant national tour, for which he was nominated for a limelight award. 'The conductor Kristjan Jarvi is bringing a bracing blast of Bernstein.' - the Times. Bernstein's Mass is one of the most tuneful and accessible sacred works of the 20th century, a charming precursor to Jesus Christ Superstar influenced by late sixties rock. Ideal for fans of both classical music and Broadway.
