Awards and reviews
May 2006
Tarik O'Regan (b1978) is a significant new British voice, who deserves to be heard far and wide. Care Charminge Sleepe is one of the best pieces of English choral music I've heard in ages and is here given a heart-wrenching performance. The Dorchester Canticles, written to partner Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, is marvellous, ebullient stuff. The sound of Clare choir is youthful and sometimes fragile, but that is mostly to its benefit. There is an urgent immediacy to their sound, as there is to the recording quality.
