Fen And Meadow: Britten Choral Works III - The Sixteen, Harry Christophers

Fen And Meadow: Britten Choral Works III - The Sixteen, Harry Christophers
ID: COR16038
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Choral Collection

The works on this album show some of the breadth and range of Benjamin Britten's choral writing, embracing the masque from his opera 'Gloriana,' his own take on the English part song tradition in 'Five Flower Songs,' and his last work for unaccompanied voices, 'Sacred and Profane.' The latter sets medieval texts described herein as a "mixture of the devotional and the rumbustiously secular." The Sixteen is one of the jewels in the musical crown of Britain, and enjoys a worldwide reputation for clarity and beauty with precision and dramatic intensity.

1-8 - Ian Partridge (Tenor); Helen Tunstall (Harp)
9 - Stephen Westropp (Piano)
10 - Ruth Dean (Soprano); Neil MacKenzie (Tenor); Margaret Phillips (Organ)

Vivald: Gloria in D major / Bach: Magnificat in D major - The Sixteen - H. Christophers

Vivald: Gloria in D major / Bach: Magnificat in D major - The Sixteen - H. Christophers
ID: COR16042
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Baroque

About this title: The small British chorus called the Sixteen and director Harry Christophers have delivered consistently popular recordings of Renaissance and Baroque music, maintaining very high standards of performance. Here they couple two of the most popular Baroque works of all, Vivaldi's Gloria in D major, RV 589, and Bach's Magnificat in D major, BWV 243, and the results are handsome indeed. The tenor of the performances flows from the conceptions of each work that Christophers expresses in one of the little personal essays that appears at the beginning of each booklet in this series: Vivaldi, he said, is "effective," and even operates in places here "at his simplest," while Bach is "complex." Some would use other words first, for each composer -- daring or kinetic for Vivaldi, devotional or a dozen other words for Bach. There are recordings that give Vivaldi in general and the Gloria in particular more of an edge; there are recordings of Bach that seem warmer, or more rooted in the sacred texts.

Venetian Treasures - Gabrieli, Caldara, Monteverdi, Cavalli - The Sixteen, H. Christophers

Venetian Treasures - Gabrieli, Caldara, Monteverdi, Cavalli - The Sixteen, H. Christophers
ID: COR16053
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Sacred Music
Subcollection: Choir

The sacred choral music of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from Venice, especially that written for the splendour of St Mark’s, has a unique style. From the rich and sonorous sound world of the Gabrielis to the airy zestfulness of Caldara’s contemporary Vivaldi, this was music which dazzled the rest of Europe.
