Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
John Rutter's Feel the Spirit for mezzo-soprano, choir and orchestra was premiered in June 2001 in Carnegie Hall, New York. Made up of appealing arrangements of familiar spirituals ("Deep River", "When the Saints" etc) in a range of styles (from big-band and the blues to Caribbean and close harmony) it was conceived as a showcase for Melanie Marshall. Her warm, creamy sound is certainly captivating, while the Cambridge Singers are fresh-voiced, flexible and alert. Of equal interest, though, are the smaller-scale Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare from George Shearing and Rutter's Birthday Madrigals, written by Rutter for Shearing's 75th birthday. Both works feature Shakespearean texts, while Rutter also sets other poets of the same period. Plenty to catch the ear here--try Shearing's wistful "Who is Silvia?" with its naughty take on Schubert, and the delightfully snappy "Fie on sinful fantasy". Rutter's madrigals are just as beguiling, and there in the middle is an example of the kind of introspective number which displays the intriguing other side to his musical personality--a setting of "Draw on Sweet Night" as searching in its own way as John Wilbye's original madrigal. Rutter's direction is exemplary throughout. --Andrew Green
