Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux. Taking "light" as their theme the choir of Clare College, Cambridge present a recital of a cappella works ranging across the centuries from Gregorian chant to the astringent modernism of Ligeti, whose Lux aeterna played such a prominent role on the soundtrack of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. With such a wide remit and apparently arbitrary theme, it would be a surprise if the programme didn't feel a little disjointed. Prepare to be surprised. Perhaps it's the seemingly effortless sound production of the choir, or the radiant acoustic of Ely Cathedral, but whatever the reason each work appears new-minted in such capable hands. It would be invidious to select highlights from a recording that makes a virtue of the seamless integration of disparate individual pieces, but Hildegard's O coruscans lux stellarum stands out, if only because it's scored for women's voices alone, while Charles Wood's anthem, Hail, Gladdening Light, arrests the ear because it's the only piece with an English text. Otherwise, even the Ligeti is given a comfortingly restful reading that's entirely appropriate in such a context. --Mark Walker

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent selection of high-quality choral singing, 20 Mar 2002

By	Tim Edmonds "tim427" (High Wycombe) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is unaccompanied choral singing of the highest quality, produced by John Rutter and recorded in the lofty and acoustically superb Lady Chapel at Ely Cathedral. Using the theme of light, and with material spanning nine centuries, the choir paint a timeless spiritual tapestry. Most of the words are sung in Latin (12 tracks) with the rest in English (3 tracks), Russian (3 tracks) and Finnish (1 track). The accompanying booklet is informative and contains all the words, including translations where relevant.
The standard of performance is excellent and the choice of material works well, with the acoustics giving a sense of space that is appropriate for Ligeti's amazing 'Lux Aeterna'. Favoured tracks will doubtless vary with mood and circumstances of the listener, but for me the Wood and Ligeti just come out ahead of the Holst and Desprez.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful sound, 13 Feb 2000

By	Mr. F. L. Dunkin Wedd - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I found this a first class recording. The selection of works for this CD is coherent, linked by the theme of light, and from the earliest to the C20th century all are beautifully performed.

The choir's sound is light but with a compelling bloom and warmth. They are accurate and convey the spiritual content of these works with conviction.

Highly recommended.
