Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This recording of James MacMillan's Mass is an intense, emotionally charged 70 minutes reflecting the composer's deeply held religious beliefs. These are beliefs which, as he has said in commenting on the mood of Mass, are not immune to doubts and fears and an awareness of the "tragedies and uncertainties of our age". So don't expect an easy listen. The music featured on this album unfolds slowly, patiently, seeming to exist outside time, yet is coloured by extremes of pitch and dynamic requiring great virtuosity and control. The Mass, which is written in Latin and incorporates priest and congregation in liturgical use, could have been written for the singers of the Westminster Cathedral Choir, who know its contours intimately. The traditional hard-edged sound of the Westminster Cathedral trebles cuts through the vast acoustic like a knife, right up until the wonderfully imaginative hold-your-breath ending of the "Agnus Dei". A range of other British cathedrals and churches boast connections with MacMillan works included here, among them St Paul's Cathedral and King's College Chapel, Cambridge. The Scottish accents of "A New Song" beguile and bewitch while the moving "A Child's Prayer" commemorates the 1996 Dunblane tragedy. Among the soloists, treble David de Winter provides some breathtaking moments in "Christus Vincit". --Andrew Green

Album Description
This album will always be a strange one I feel, as the Choir of Westminster Cathedral when I was there was always used to singing late Rennaissance music by such composers as Palestrina and Vittoria, and plainsong. When we were first told by Mr Martin Baker that we would be doing another modern Mass (the last - "Westminster Mass" by Roxanna Panufnik) the outcry among the boys, including myself was memorable. Of course, we didn't let that show....
