16th April 2014

A brief round-up of recent releases focusing on Passiontide and Easter.

The second disc from the choir of Clare College, Cambridge in their series based on the major festivals in the Anglican calendar and, like 'Veni Emmanuel', produced by John Rutter. In this richly varied Passiontide sequence, polyphonic settings of the great texts of Holy Week are interwoven with a plainchant rendition of the mournful 'Stabat Mater': the traditional medieval poem meditating on the death of Jesus and the grief of his mother.

Volume one reached the dizzy heights of the Specialist Classical Chart last November.

Reviews

April 2014

The style of singing here is intimately attuned to the time of year these pieces are intended for...the relative narrowness of the disc's emotional spectrum means consuming it in one sitting is probably inadvisable. Dipped into selectively, though, it is full of highly sentient, technically excellent performances, and is atmospherically recorded.

March/April 2014

Warm yet pure-toned emotion pours from these 27 voices, and a fine corps of basses grounds the whole with exemplary gravitas.

April 2014

It is not to be ignored that this is a very young choir - the lightness of the bass-line is particularly apparently in [the Sanders Reproaches]...The singing and, above all, direction are of such consummate musicianship that those small perceived imperfections barely matter at all.

August 2014

Without the harrowing visual element one can more easily appreciate how intensely moving these cantatas are in their own right. Sacrifice may be the theme but sensuality predominates. Beautiful, cleanly etched singing and playing.
