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
