Sacred choral works for the 21st century but steeped in the tradition and style of centuries past. Composer LYDIA KAKABADSE is English born but with roots in Greece, Austria, Russia and Georgia, all of which inspire her music which is a fluid mix of the western and Orthodox choral styles.
A perfect album for the choral music lover wanting a new sound but within traditional tonal (and modal) limits.
Performed by former members of Clare College choir, who have gone on to their life-after-graduation, taking with them the Choir’s excellent and ever-growing reputation as one of the finest English choirs of our day. Joined for ‘Spectre’ by mezzo-soprano Grace Durham and instrumental ensemble.
