Vaughan Williams: Sacred Choral Music

Vaughan Williams: Sacred Choral Music

Mc Vinnie; Gupta; Clare College Choir, Cambridge; Brown

Ralph Vaughan Williams’s sublime Mass in G minor reveals the composer’s absorbing interest in using the modal harmonic language and contrapuntal textures of the English late Renaissance to achieve a huge emotional and dynamic range. Undoubtedly the most technically demanding work on this recording is A Vision of Aeroplanes, a virtuosic motet for mixed chorus and organ. Several neglected works feature here, including The Voice out of the Whirlwind, an anthem for mixed chorus and orchestra or organ, and Valiant-for-truth, one of several works based on Bunyan’s Christian allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress.

" ...what impresses about this performance is the exceptional sense of shape, both in overview and in tiny details...This comes with a strong recommendation."
BBC Music Magazine

"there is nothing like having youth and intelligence on your side, and [Brown's] musicians, singers and players certainly support the freshness of their voices with the mental energy which so distinguishes the Cambridge School...this performance, lovingly moulded and well balanced...is in the best tradition."
