"Sing like you're being tortured."
Roderick Williams shares his experience working with Peter Sellars on the St John Passion; the taste of Southbank's Royal Festival Hall floor and weeping with forgiveness for a savage choir.
Later in the conversation, Netty and Roderick reminisce on their recent performance of Bach's Ich Habe Genug without an audience. Roderick talks about the bourée that he composed in tribute to Bach and confesses to his survivalist tendencies in the kitchen.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
