Product Description

Review

These are performances of rare power and intensity. --International Record Review

Illuminating performances,essential addition to the rapidly growing discography of one of Britain's most self-assured musical voices . --Gramophone

Approachable without being apologetic, emotional but with the sense of dignity, the best of these works can both delight and challenge… Everything is performed with elegance and the requisite intensity, and the recordings are clear and atmospheric. --BBC Music Magazine ****

About the Artist

The outstanding Scottish group have a unique relationship with James MacMillan, the composer having written several works for them. All of the tracks are premiere recordings, recorded under the supervision of the composer. Included is the last of the Strathclyde Motets seven having been included on Tenebrae. Also include is the Mass James MacMillan wrote specifically for Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Scotland in September 2010, sung by over 150,000 people.

James MacMillan is without doubt one of the best composers of choral music working today, and his fellow-Scots Cappella Nova are rapidly establishing themselves as the finest interpreters of his work on record. This CD, which complements their earlier album 'Tenebrae', contains a generous 72 minutes of music. The pieces chosen include not only 'top end' works for the concert hall, but settings of liturgical texts that are within the reach of a (good) parish choir, such as the Advent Antiphon 'I lift my soul to you' - with an exotic blend of Gaelic folksong and Russian Orthodox influences, this shows that the official 'Proper' texts of the Mass can be set in a way that is both accessible and musically thrilling, showing a way forward from the arbitrarily-chosen hymns which all too often replace the scripture-based Propers. Another highlight of this CD is the motet 'Benedictus Deus', composed on a text from a fifteenth-century Canterbury Pontifical, which was commissioned for the enthronement of Vincent Nichols as Archbishop of Westminster; this draws brilliantly on the polyphonic tradition with which Westminster Cathedral Choir is so closely associated, but Cappella Nova prove that you don't have to be Westminster Cathedral Choir to carry it off!

Many will find MacMillan's music austere but there is much that is beautiful on the CD. It is music that warrants attention.
