opis
A beautifully themed collection of fourteen of the finest unaccompanied British choral masterpieces of the last 125 years performed by award-winning Choir of The King’s Consort. • The fascinating mix of familiar and unfamiliar includes five ‘paired’ settings: William Harris’s classic 1959 ‘Bring us, O Lord God’ partnered by James MacMillan’s 2010 setting of the same words; Herbert Howells’ devastatingly poignant ‘Take him, earth, for cherishing’ (in memory of the slain President Kennedy) juxtaposed with John Tavener’s 2008 response to the same text; ‘Justorum animae’ (‘The souls of the righteous’) in versions by Lennox Berkeley, Charles Villiers Stanford and Herbert Murrill; heartfelt settings of ‘Drop, drop, slow tears’ by Kenneth Leighton and Thomas Hewitt Jones; and Stanford’s beautifully crafted ‘I heard a voice from Heaven’ coupled with Herbert Howell’s exquisite, mystical setting of the same words. • The collection is completed with three impressive single works: Parry’s valedictory ‘Lord, let me know mine end’, William Harris’s masterwork ‘Faire is the Heaven’, and a stunningly powerful recording of John Tavener’s ‘Song for Athene’, which sprang to global fame when performed at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. • Recorded in the well-nigh perfect acoustic of St Jude’s Church, London, by the award-winning production team of David Hinitt and Adrian Peacock. • Extensive presentation includes 64 page booklet with authoritative liner note in three languages by conductor Robert King, together with full sung texts and session photographs.
