About
LIMITED EDITION - 100 units worldwide. Devised by the Bristol Choral Society’s director Hilary Campbell, the choir’s second album with Delphian is acelebration of British choral music ranging from Holst and Vaughan Williams, by way of Britten’s much-loved Rejoicein the Lamb, to some of today’s most vibrant voices.
At its heart are three premiere recordings: of Dame Judith Weir’sPraise Him with Trumpets,Grace-Evangeline Mason’sA Memory of the Oceanfor choir, piano and cello,a Royal Philharmonic Society commission whose first performance the choir gave in 2023, and an exciting recent rediscovery –Elizabeth Poston’s Festal Te Deum.
To complement the larger choral pieces, the choir’s long-term collaborator Charlotte Mobbs and pianist Steven Kings bring to life vivid Shakespeare settings by Vaughan Williams, Elizabeth Maconchy and Cecilia McDowall.
