5.0 out of 5 stars Playful liturgical music 27 May 2008
By Aquinas
Format:Audio CD
Joseph Ratzinger in the opening chapter of his book: "The Spirit of the Liturgy" discusses liturgy as "play". Panufnik's music gives the concept "play" musical form in her work. For example, in her Douai Mass, there is a very amusing deflationary; "qui....iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" in the Gloria and there is an outrageously joyful "Hosanna" in the "sanctus" of the Westminster mass. One may question the use of bells (denoting "glory") in the Kyriale of the Westminster Mass, but the use of harps is very effective. The Polish carols may be a little naive and sentimental but they are nonetheless charming. It is interesting to compare Panufnik's approach to liturgy with MacMillan's approach. The latter's music is ecstatic whereas Panufnik music encapsulates an immanent joy. This is an excellent cd, which I warmly recommend.

Following further listenings, I am convined that Panufnik has a great gift for choral music - long may she continue writing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Panufnik Choral Music 14 Aug 2012
Format:MP3 Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
I hadn't come across Roxanna Panufnik's work before but was pleased to receive an MP3 download of her work performed by Westminster Cathedral Choir (excellent as ever) and the City of London Sinfonia conducted by Peter Broadbent. One of the problems of downloading music in this way is the difficulty in obtaining the sleeve notes one would normally have with a CD, which may be something that Amazon and recording companies would like to consider.

One reviewer has compared Panufnik's work to that of James Macmillan. I would suggest that they are in a different league, with Macmillan standing head and shoulders above the works found in this album. I found some of the compositions rather naive and dated. The Douai Mass was interesting but lacked the exploration of sound often found in the contemporary work by composers such as Macmillan (Scotland) and Vivancos (Spain). The four Angel's songs are pretty and are likely to be taken up by church choirs across the country looking for something not in 'Carols for Choirs'! The Westminster Mass is to my mind the best of the music on this album and is of far more interest to the ear. My only complaint is as regards the bells - a not uncommon inclusion in music for the mass (e.g. Bernat Vivancos's 'Messe Aux Sons Des Cloches') - yet the tubular bells used reminds one of a doorbell rather than a sanctuary gong or tower peal!

I found the acoustic a little 'flat' but the singing was clear and well accentuated. This said, I enjoyed the performance and recommend it to those who love contemporary cathedral music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the wait 1 April 2011
Format:Audio CD
It took forever and a day for this CD to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. Roxanna Panufnik's choral composing is wonderful, very refreshing. For choral music aficionados this is a gem.
