Produktinfo

Product-Information:


For the past half century the music of Randall Thompson has remained a staple in the choral repertoire. These delightful works are marked by skilful craftsmanship, a pervasive singability and uncommon beauty. This new recording features Thompson’s The Peaceable Kingdom, based upon texts from the book of Isaiah, as well as his Mass, The Last Invocation and Fare Well. Also included is one of Thompson’s most popular works, his Alleluia, written at the request of Serge Koussevitsky and premiered in July 1940, and today a beloved and time-honoured contribution to the choral repertoire.

The informative booklet notes are by one of Thompson’s most constant admirers, the fellow-American composer Morten Lauridsen.

Rezensionen


'The Schola Cantorum under James Burton radiates in performances that could not be bettered' (Gramophone)

'A vivid response to words is paramount in the 1936 sacred motet sequence 'The Peacable Kingdom … The performances do full justice to this little-known repertoire' (Choir & Organ Magazine)

'Schola Cantorum of Oxford dig into these works with such relish and enthusiasm, displaying an obvious love for this music, and cementing the idea of Thompson's universal appeal' (Audiophile Audition, USA)

'An unexpected pleasure … Fine performances from Schola Cantorum and the excellent James Burton' (Oxford Today)
