专辑简介
A Classics Today Feature Selection! If you've heard this choir before, you know what to expect here: lustrous ensemble sound, crisp, clear, clean articulation, irresistible rhythmic energy, keen intonation, and impressive command of some very challenging music. In this two-disc program (35 works) we're treated to five Magnificats, all different in style--from chant and early-20th-century settings to more "modern" versions by Herbert Sumsion, Swedish composer Agneta Sk?ld, and conductor Z. Randall Stroope--as well as a widely varied array of original and arranged works for treble voices. A chamber orchestra and various other instruments (harp, organ, saxophone) accompany the choir for some selections, and an adult ensemble joins Bel Canto for what may be the best-on-disc rendition of the oft-performed Ave Maria by Franz Biebl. Just listen to these young virtuosos nail every note and rhythm of Holst's furious little gem God of Fire. A must for choral fans! – David Vernier
