Choral music of Richard Rodney Bennett
The Cambridge Singers
John Rutter conductor
CSACD 901
John Rutter’s Cambridge Singers present the first full-length overview of the choral music of one of the most distinctive and creative of contemporary composers, including much of his very popular Christmas music. Possessed of a gift for heart-melting, memorable and quintessentially English melody and an instinctive lyric responsiveness to English poetry, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett is responsible for an outstandingly varied, imaginative and attractive body of choral work spanning a period of almost forty years. This release is Collegium’s first in 5-channel surround sound in the SACD format."It is hard to imagine a more persuasive and personal rendering of this charming music." BBC Music Magazine
