Delphian’s superchoir reunites after its highly successful recording of Shchedrin’s The Sealed Angel, this time for a programme of German Romantic music. Strauss’s sumptuous Deutsche Motette is the last word in late Romantic choral opulence, its teeming polyphony brought to thrilling life by this virtuoso cast of over sixty singers.
The rest of the programme explores the vivid colours and shadowy half-lights of a distinctly German music that reached its culmination in Strauss’s extravagant masterpiece. The singing throughout combines a musical intensity and imagination with an understanding of period style, that are hallmarks of both choirs’ work
The Choir of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (directed by Geoffrey Webber) and The Choir of King’s College London (directed by David Trendell) are two of the UK’s leading collegiate and university choirs. Both choirs combine singing at services during term time with a busy schedule of concerts, recordings and broadcasts, both in the UK and abroad. |

In 2014, Merton College in Oxford celebrates its 750th year. Benjamin Nicholas and Peter Phillips’ specially conceived programme journeys through three quarters of a millennium of choral repertoire. Not just a demonstration of this accomplished ensemble’s versatility, the recording also provides a bird’s-eye view of some important moments in musical history, and features two composers - John Dunstaple and Lennox Berkeley - associated with the College as well as three works specially commissioned for the anniversary celebrations. The choir, a relatively recent addition to this illustrious college’s complement of treasures, gives stylish and committed performances in the famous acoustic of Merton’s chapel. |

1 The Tree o’ Licht for two cellos 2 The Poet Tells of his Fame an electroacoustic fantasy after Borges for cello, pre-recorded samples and live processing Sonata for Cello and Piano 3 I 4 II
Total playing time [60:45]
Both musically impassioned and socially engaged, William Sweeney’s music is at its most eloquent when voiced by that most human of instruments, the cello. The player navigates a stormy electronic landscape in the Borges-inspired The Poet Tells of his Fame, while Schumann lies behind the powerfully argued Sonata for Cello and Piano, recipient of a 2011 BASCA British Composer Award.
The Sonata bears a joint dedication to Delphian artist Robert Irvine and to Erkki Lahesmaa - ‘keepers’, as Sweeney calls them, ‘of the cello’s inner voice’ - and Irvine is joined by his Finnish colleague here in the 2008 duo The Tree o’ Licht, in which Gaelic Psalmody is transmuted into deepest instrumental expressivity. |

Subkolektion: Harpsichord
John Kitchen continues his much-lauded series of recordings of the world-famous collections of keyboard instruments in St Cecilia's Hall - Scotland's oldest purpose-built concert hall - with a programme specially designed to highlight the unique qualities of the 1755 double-manual harpsichord by Luigi Baillon.
Built in Cyteux, Burgundy, it has a very different sound from Parisian instruments of the time; cleaner and brighter in tone, it is the perfect vehicle for Kitchen's subtly nuanced playing, which brings the sophistication of the period to new life.
The familiarity born of Kitchen's daily experience with the Edinburgh collections and their setting shines through these performances. |

Nourished by Messiaen's beloved birdsong and Hindu rhythms, the Méditations bring alive the deepest mysteries of Catholicism and are here performed with a visceral intensity by Michael Bonaventure. This powerfully idiosyncratic composer's music has been realised on an organ of immense range and apocalyptic power.

The original first-movement manuscript of Schumann's Fantasie in C has a number of differences from the editions commonly used today - significant tempo and textual changes which David Wilde has reinstated in a revelatory reading of this tumultuous love-poem to the young Clara. In contrast, Kinderszenen, a touching and vernal evocation of childhood, is given a performance of artless innocence that chimes with Wilde's conviction that ‘it shouldn't sound mature'. Carnaval's colourful cast of characters is viscerally and imaginatively brought to life, culminating in Wilde's fearsome ‘March against the Philistines'.
A veteran of the Romantic piano tradition, David Wilde brings six decades of intense experience to this recital. His playing harks back to a time when audiences expected much more from the performer. This is Schumann with personality - listeners searching for a ‘safe' experience will be disappointed.

The final volume in Delphian’s survey of Messiaen’s complete organ music takes in his earliest published works, in which, in the composer’s own words, the ‘abundance of technical means allows the heart to overflow freely’. The British Harrison instrument in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle reveals a surprising capacity to speak with a French accent in this music, and Timothy Byram-Wigfield’s combination of virtuosic majesty with a compelling and loving faith has already captured the imagination of reviewers for Volume I of the series. The booklet includes a 3000-word essay by Messiaen’s acclaimed biographer Nigel Simeone.

The seeds for Messiaen's final organ work were sown during an inspirational trip to Israel in 1984. o ver the course of the next twelve months, Messiaen found improvisation leading him back to composition after the exhausting labours that had produced his mighty opera Saint François d'Assise . The Livre du Saint Sacrement became Messiaen's grand farewell to his own instrument, and Michael Bonaventure performs it from memory here on the Rieger organ at St Giles' Cathedral, whose true acoustic preserves the clarity of Messiaen's lines. The stunning booklet incorporates a booklet essay written by Messiaen biographer Nigel Simeone and features full colour photography.

A recognised authority in 20th century and contemporary music, Peter Hill turns for the first time on disc to another of his lifelong preoccupations - the music of JS Bach. On this new recording, Hill brings his customary scholarly acumen and crystalline musical intelligence to bear on Book two of the ‘48’ - music of ‘unsurpassed inventiveness’.
