Gavin Bryars's Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet
from Radio 3's Fifty Modern Classics · host BBC Radio 3
Gavin Bryars's mould-breaking 1971 score Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a work which came about almost accidentally, when Bryars found a recording of an elderly homeless man singing lines from a Victorian hymn. Cultural historian Robert Hewison makes the case for why the work is important, and commentary comes from author and musician David Toop.
