Multi-part music for the same instrument, dating back to Elizabethan consorts of viols, remains outside the typical orchestral repertoire nowadays, but as ever, SOMM remains true to its stellar reputation for presenting rare and singular releases.Habanera, Music for Eight Cellos and Voiceis a joyous recording that grew out of a collaboration between baritoneRoderick Williamsand cellistJoely Koos, joint Artistic Directors at the 2023 Endellion Summer Music Festival. The camaraderie enjoyed by the artists and theEndellion Cellistswas particularly strong, and a special concert was devised for cello ensemble and voice featuring British-Spanish soprano Ana Beard Fernández.
