Digital Booklet
|
"Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, with their signature balance and textual care, make articulate advocates for a composer who is much more than a late echo of Holst or Vaughan Williams."
- Gramophone
"Four Stars ... Christophers and The Sixteen make a convincing case for a reappraisal of his choral music ... each piece is sung with the purity and sincerity we have come to expect from one of the UK’s most treasured and respected vocal ensembles."
- The Guardian
"Four Stars ... Christophers balances the soaring soprano solo of Julie Cooper caressingly against the ensemble singers, in a performance which achieves ecstasy without any element of overstatement ... a disc which anybody remotely interested in Rubbra will want to purchase."
- BBC Music Magazine
Harry Christophers and The Sixteen shine light on some of the less familiar choral music of 20th century British composer Edmund Rubbra. While most remembered for his orchestral compositions, Rubbra also wrote choral music consistently throughout his career. His distinctive style is unmistakable: his love of counterpoint, his sense of tonality and his clever working of melody made him stand out from many of his contemporaries. Along with the extraordinary Tenebrae Nocturnes, the album also features the first recording of the Responses from the Missa Cantuariensis.
