Britten: Choral Works


24 FLAC Discount

Britten, a capella Having dazzled the critics (Choc de Classica, the German Record Critics' Award) some 16 years earlier with its label debut featuring best-loved twentieth-century English a capella works, the members of RIAS Kammerchor revisit one of their favourite composers, Benjamin Britten – this time, under the direction of the choir's new chief conductor, Justin Doyle. A perfect occasion to discover his new reading of the composer's enchanting setting of poems written in honour of the patron saint of musicians by W.H. Auden (he would later rename them "Anthem for St. Cecilia's Day [for Benjamin Britten]"), alongside other choral settings comprising this glorious album entirely devoted to Britain's greatest twentieth-century composer.

L'autre Britten. 16 ans après avoir ébloui la critique (Choc de Classica, Grand Prix de la critique allemande) avec un premier album dédiée à divers compositeurs anglais du XXe siècle, les choristes du RIAS Kammerchor reviennent à l'un de leurs compositeurs favoris, Benjamin Britten — cette fois sous la direction de leur nouveau chef, Justin Doyle. L'occasion de découvrir sous un jour nouveau les miraculeuses adaptations de trois « chansons pour la Sainte-Cécile » de Wistan Hugh Auden (qui d'ailleurs les rebaptisa a posteriori comme Anthem for St. Cecilia's Day (for Benjamin Britten) ») mais aussi d'autres fresques chorales réunies sur cet album tout entier dévolu à la gloire du plus grand compositeur britannique du XXe siècle.
