- Gramophone
Professional chamber choir the John Alexander Singers showcase rare choral artistry in this select programme of works by leading contemporary American choral composers. Among the all-American delights are stunning selections by living legends Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre, as well as works from choral icon Dale Warland and the late master Norman Dello Joio. Rounding out the album are exciting creations by esteemed veteran John Muehleisen and the enticing newer voices of Joseph Gregorio, Michael Rickelton and John Orfe, several heard in world premiere recordings. Revered choirmaster John Alexander draws exquisite performances from his singers, with sensitive and skillful support from pianist David Clemensen and trumpeter Barry Perkins on several pieces.
