Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This album of choral classics, recorded in the beautiful acoustics of New College Chapel, Oxford, has been given the subtitle "World of Inner Harmony". If one were to be cynical, it suggests a stream of crystals'n'kaftans mood music. The surprise, however, is that though conductor Edward Higginbottom has created an unruffled surface of reflection and calm, he and his choir have also crafted a musically satisfying disc. Much of the variety is to be found in the significantly different styles on offer, from the slow build of Barber's Agnus Dei, through the restrained Gallic beauty of Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine, to the spare spirituality of Górecki's Totus Tuus. There is also a sophisticated approach to the different acoustics needed for each piece. Fauré's In Paradisum is handled with much more intimacy than, for example, the Kyrie of Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli, which is recorded at a far greater distance. The most risky item on the disc is John Cameron's arrangement of Elgar's "Nimrod" for eight-part choir, using the words of the Lux Aeterna: it teeters between kitsch and real power. In the end, as with most of the pieces here, the choir's extraordinary performance renders it hugely enjoyable. --Warwick Thompson
From Amazon.com
Beyond this recording's new age packaging and title is a splendid sampling of some of the world's finest choral music, sung by one of the world's outstanding choirs. This "anthology of sacred choral music" spans 400 years and includes such masterpieces as Allegri's Miserere, Bach's "Jesu, joy of man's desiring," and Barber's exquisite Agnus Dei, which is the composer's choral setting of his famous Adagio for Strings. Along the way we also hear Mozart's sublime "Ave verum corpus," Elgar's "Lux aeterna," and the Kyrie from Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli. There has been a choir at England's New College, Oxford, since the year 1379, and this impressive line of experience shows in the intelligent, unfaltering, and finely polished performances by today's ensemble of 16 boys and 12 adults. --David Vernier
