Product-Information:
Much of Britten's choral music requires great vocal dexterity and suppleness. Polyphony continue to receive great critical acclaim for their performances so are the perfect group to record this repertoire.
Included on this disc is the last choral work for professionals which Britten was to complete—Sacred and Profane—a collection of 8 medieval lyrics for voices in five parts (SSATB). Also included is the Chorale after an Old French Carol whose text is by W H Auden (a close friend of Britten's). The Chorale's text was part of an unachieved Christmas Oratorio on which Britten and Auden intended to collaborate.
The seven settings of poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins entitled A. M.D. G. were never performed in the composer's lifetime and indeed had to wait until 1984 for its first performance.
Rezensionen
'Musically impeccable, carefully wound and tuned, superbly balanced – a magnificent display of sheer beauty of choral sound' (American Record Guide)
'After hearing their latest CD of choral works by Britten, nothing will dissuade me from the conclusion that Polyphony under Stephen Layton is the best chamber choir in the country' (The Evening Standard)
'The programme is delightful and the choir excellent … This has to be one of the strongest winners of the choral award in recent years' (Gramophone)
'A valued possession … highly recommended' (Cathedral Music)
